OK 67.45 SMAW Type Lime-basic (E307-15) Description Austenitic stainless steel electrode producing a weld metal with less than 5% ferrite. The tough weld metal has excellent crack resistance, even when welding steels with very poor weldability. Suitable for joining 12 -14% manganese steel to itself or other steels. It is also suitable for buffer layers before hardfacing.
