Sandvik 29.9.R (Covered electrodes)

Datasheet updated 2012-08-03 09:08:17 (supersedes all previous editions)

Sandvik 29.9.R is a covered electrode with rutile-basic coating and about 110% metal recovery giving a duplex (ferritic-austenitic) all weld metal. It is used for welding of dissimilar materials, high carbon and manganese steels like tool steels as well as surfacing. Sandvik 29.9 R is also used for overlays on hot forming steels and as a universal electrode for repair and maintenance work.

Scaling resistant up to 1150oC (2100oF). Spray transfer gives a bead with a finely rippled surface. Little spatter and very good slag removal.
