Sanicro 71 (Covered electrodes)

Datasheet updated 2012-08-03 09:10:30 (supersedes all previous editions)

Sanicro 71 is a covered electrode with basic coating and normal metal recovery for welding of NiCrFe alloys, 9% Ni steels as well as nickel-alloyed steels for low temperature use. It is also used for dissimilar joints, such as stainless steel and NiCu alloys to carbon steel and nickel alloys. Sanicro 71 is characterized by little spatter and very good slag removal.
