It is suitable for welding structures fabricated by similar extra-low carbon stainless steels or for dissimilar steel welding, e.g. the lining of urea synthetic tower. The crack-resisting and corrosion resistance is improved due to the molybdenum to the point in weld metal.

Noted: 1) The rod should be baked at 300℃-350℃ for 1 hour before use.
2) The surfaces to be welded must be cleaned away impurities of oil contamination, rust, moisture .
3) Smaller current and short arc are recommended in welding and weave beads no wider than 2.5 times of the diameter of the core rod is better.
