Sandvik 19.12.3.LRHD is a covered chromium-nickel-molybdenum electrode with rutile-acid coating and very high deposition rate. It is used for horizontal welding of steels of 316 types as well as overlays giving 316 type composition.

The electrode has excellent arc stability and fast burn off rate with minimal stub loss. It is also characterized by improved moisture resistance, self peeling slag, easy post weld finishing and smooth uniform beads.

Applications
In cases where creep strength is of secondary importance, Sandvik 19.12.3.LRHD is suitable for welding of corresponding stabilized austenitic steels. When a weld metal similar to the parent metal is not required, Sandvik 19.12.3.LRHD can be used for welding ferritic and martensitic steels.
