IANICRFE3001560E00 - ENiCrFe-3 Inconel 182 Stick Electrode 5/32" (4.0mm)

Professional Grade Inconel 182 (ENiCrFe-3) Welding Rods

Tackle the toughest dissimilar metal welds with confidence using our ENiCrFe-3 (Inconel 182) Stick Electrodes. Sized at 5/32" (4.0mm), these rods are formulated for heavy-duty fabrication and repair where standard steel electrodes fall short. The ENiCrFe-3 classification represents a versatile nickel-based alloy that bridges the gap between different material types, making it an essential inventory item for any welder dealing with mixed-metal assemblies or high-temperature repairs.

The chemical composition of this electrode includes a balanced mix of nickel, chromium, manganese, and niobium. This specific chemistry provides a weld deposit that is highly resistant to solidification cracking and fissuring. It is particularly effective for welding Inconel 600 and similar alloys, as well as for joining these alloys to carbon steel or stainless steel. The resulting weld bead is tough, ductile, and capable of withstanding significant thermal shock, making it a reliable choice for cryogenic applications as well as high-heat environments up to 1000°F.

Welders will appreciate the operability of these rods. Designed for use with Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP), they produce a stable, controllable arc with minimal spatter. The slag system is designed to protect the molten pool effectively while being easy to remove after cooling, reducing cleanup time. When your project demands a weld that resists oxidation and corrosion while holding strong under stress, the Inconel 182 electrode is the professional's choice for durability and performance.

Performance Benefits

• Crack Resistance: Manganese addition helps prevent hot cracks in the weld bead.
• Versatility: The go-to rod for joining carbon steel to high-nickel alloys or stainless steel.
• Arc Stability: Smooth running on DCEP with excellent puddle control.
