In its new handbook, ESAB advises about the most effective methods and techniques for welding stainless steel. The 92-page guide includes tables, classifications and approvals as well as the typical chemical composition of the ESAB consumables available for use with various types of welding. ESAB’s new stainless steel welding technical handbook contains advice about the most effective methods and techniques for welding stainless steel, including how to get the most out of fluxes used for submerged arc welding and how corrosion and ferrite in weld metals affects welds involving stainless steel. It also covers consumables for joining and cladding stainless steel and nickel-base alloys. Furthermore, the guide includes information about three new rutile MMA electrodes that perform effectively when arc welding at all positions with low welding currents. The latest ESAB electrodes have been developed in cooperation with the petrochemical, paper and pulp industries, where the use of thin-walled stainless pipe and sheet is growing.
