Stick Electrode for welding a wide range of steels
FUSION™ UNIVERSAL E
FUSION™ UNIVERSAL E is a stick electrode that can be used for fabrication joining welds,
repair, and maintenance on a wide range of steels. It repairs jobs where high strength and
toughness are required. General hardfacing applications is used where impact resistance and
work hardening is required. It is best to buffer the layer before hardfacing with high hardness
material. UNIVERSAL E has exceptional corrosion resistance, cavitation and impact.
Depending on the amount of impact, the weld deposit work hardens to different degrees. This
product has excellent crack resistance. Weld deposit displays exceptionally high ductility and
elongation.
