StarBlaze Prime 307
AWS A5.4: E307-16 | DIN EN ISO 3581-A: E 18 8 Mn Mo R 12 | DIN EN 1600: E 18 8 Mn Mo R 12 | Werkstoff Nr: 1.4370
Cushion Layer Welding, Easy Slag Removal, High Impact Strength
Summary:
Non-magnetic rutile-coated stainless electrode designed for joining and surfacing of manganese steels (up to 14% Mn), high-sulphur/phosphorus steels, and tool or spring steels. Ideal for wear-affected parts and cushioning before hardfacing. Offers excellent bead appearance, low spatter, and strong impact resistance.
Key Features
- Stable arc with smooth bead and minimal spatter
- High elongation (>35%) and impact strength (>75 J)
- Excellent machinability and cushion-layer weld performance
- Slag lifts easily; clean finish aids post-weld operations
- Compatible base materials: Screening steels, spring steels, high Mn austenitic steels, 45Cr4, 1.7035, 1.5024, 1.5026
- Tensile strength: >550 N/mm² | Ni content: 9.00% | Cr: 19.0%
