Solid Welding Wire is filler metal used for GTAW processes or for welding 601 alloy. It has excellent resistance against corrosion and oxidation and can be used for severe applications where the exposure temperature can exceed 1150° C. It is the preferred weld metal for all gas- tungsten- arc welding.
