TAURUS TIG 312 rod has good oxidation resistance at high temperatures due to its high content of Chromium. The alloy is widely used for joining dissimilar steels, especially if one of the components is fully austenitic, and for steels that are difficult to weld, like for example machine components, tools and austenitic manganese steels.WELDING POSITIONS • Down hand• Horizontal flat• Horizontal vertical• Vertical up• OverheadCLASSIFICATIONS AWS A5.9 ER312 EN ISO 14343-A W 29 9
