Exaton 24.13.LR

Exaton 24.13.LR is a high‑alloyed chromium‑nickel covered electrode with a rutile coating, designed for Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) of dissimilar joints between stainless steel and mild or low‑alloyed steels. It delivers excellent arc stability, low spatter, fast burn‑off and superior moisture resistance.

Key Features

• Rutile‑type acid coating with self‑peeling slag
• Low spatter and minimal stub loss
• High corrosion resistance (Cr 23 % / Ni 12.5 %)
• Consistent weld quality in any standard position
• Available in 20–25 kg drums with moisture‑resistant packaging
