PRIME-ARC 85™ JOINING WIRES AND ELECTRODES

JOIN, REBUILD, OR CUSHION HIGH-STRENGTH AND CORROSION-RESISTANT METALS

Prime-Arc 85 JW (joining wire) and Prime-Arc 85 JE (joining electrode) are designed to deposit a modified austenitic stainless steel recommended for joining, rebuilding, or cushion overlaying on applications involving high-strength and heat-corrosion resistance. It is also frequently used in dissimilar metal applications to join carbon steels and high-strength alloy steels to stainless steels. Prime-Arc 85 has excellent welder appeal with a smooth spray arc and self-peeling slag.

WHY CHOOSE PRIME-ARC 85™

Joins any ferrous metal to any other ferrous metal

Very high tensile strength and work hardens in service to 450 BHN

A modified 312 stainless steel chemistry provides a low ferrite number weldment, excellent for both high heat and low temperature service

Will not respond to heat treatment

Tensile strength exceeds 130 KSI with elongation of up to 35%

stainless steel and dissimilar metals

Corrosion-resistant

No spatter of fumes

APPLICATIONS

Prime-Arc 85 is a universal weld consumable that can be used to join high-strength steels, chromium carbide overlay plates, stainless steels, and dissimilar metals like stainless to mild steel. Applications include cast steel, rebuilding worn areas, sprockets, gear teeth, shaft repair, agitator blades, tool steel, and stud removal.
