Alloy 3000 Dissimilar Metals Maintenance Electrodes Blue Demon
3000 is the perfect choice when joining
dissimilar metals. This alloy can be used for
the repair and joining of all ferrous steels
including high-alloy, stainless and tool steels.
It can be used in all positions to produce
smooth, porosity free welds without undercut
or splatter. Special ferrite balanced chemistry
also serves as a ‘STUD PULLING’ electrode.
Typical Applications
• Dissimilar metals
• Repair of tools, dies, springs, carbon steels
and pressure vessels
• Rebuilding shafts and blades used in the
chemical, construction and mining industries
