General purpose stainless steel electrode of 23/12/3L type designed for joining dissimilar stainless steels, of the most common types, to one another. Primarily designed for maintenance applications where various types of stainless steels intermediate in composition between 18/8 and 23/12 Chrome Nickel, are used and where the need for one electrode, to accommodate all applications on a general basis, is required. Most of the common types of stainless steel can be welded with this electrode, without the loss of properties.

If allowed to become damp the electrodes should be re-dried for one hour at 250°C before use.
