Cronatron™ 3881 Stainless Steel Stick Rod Electrode

X-ray quality welds, smooth-running in all positions for joining the most common grades of stainless steels including 303, 304, 307, 308, 309, 316, 317 and the low carbon “L” version of these alloys.
Superior Advantages
• Minimal carbide precipitation
• Excellent resistance to corrosion and heat
• All-position welding reduces the need to dismantle equipment
• Easy slag removal saves time
Excellent Vertical-down and Overhead
Tensile Strength: 84,000 PSI
Elongation: 40%
Polarity: AC or DC Reverse
Designed specifically to deposit sound X-ray quality welds in the vertical-down position.
Applications
• Piping and tubing
• Food and medical processing equipment
• Housings and impellers
• Tanks and vats
Usage Procedure:
Use AC or DC reverse polarity with normal maintenance welding procedures. Surface area should be as clean as possible. However, Cronaweld™ Eagle 3881 is manufactured with special cleansing and fluxing agents to promote sound welds under most conditions. For ­vertical-down welding, hold a short arc and tilt the electrode 10° in the direction of travel, using a stringer bead technique.
