SA-1 Blue 1/8 Electrode SA1Blue * Ultra Strength High Alloy Electrode for all steels (AC or DC reverse)

An ultra-high strength electrode with high corrosion, crack, and heat resistance. It can be easily welded in all
positions. High strength welds are achieved while maintaining ductility. The fully machine-able deposits have
no hard spots. Inweld SA 1 Blue is for the maintenance welder who does not know the type of steel he is
welding, or must weld dissimilar steels. Commonly used for repairing tools, dyes, carbon steels, spring steels,
and stainless steels. Ideal for removing broken studs, or welding low, medium, and high alloy steels where high
strength is essential. Ideal overlay cushion prior to hard facing. To use, prepare joining area by removing
foreign material. Use Inweld Chamfer Rod to bevel heavy sections. Hold a short arc, or use drag technique,
use stringer beads. For high alloys and heavy sections, preheat to 400F (204C), skip weld and peen lightly to
avoid internal stress.
