Exaton 22.15.3.L (GMAW)

Exaton 22.15.3.L (GMAW) is an austenitic filler material designed for joining stainless steels to carbon or low‑alloy steels, suitable for plasma welding, overlay welding, hot‑wire TIG and mechanised TIG.

Key Features

• High corrosion‑resistant chemistry with increased Cr and Mo content
• Consistent wire quality batch‑to‑batch for reliable welds
• Low‑moisture SAW flux packaging (20‑25 kg drums) reduces damage
• Provides productivity gains with single‑layer overlay capability
