FAQs
1. What are alloy steel welding electrodes?
These electrodes contain alloying elements like Cr, Mo, and Ni to improve weld strength, toughness, and heat resistance.
2. What is the difference between alloy and low-alloy electrodes?
Low-alloy electrodes have small additions of alloying elements (≤5%) to enhance strength and toughness, whereas alloy electrodes may have higher alloy content for specialized applications.
3. Where are alloy steel electrodes used?
Commonly used in boilers, pipelines, pressure vessels, and power plant components exposed to heat and stress.
4. What standards do your electrodes meet?
Our electrodes conform to AWS A5.5 and IS 1395 specifications and are manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 quality systems.
