$960.80/10 lb tubeThe ENiCrFe-3 welding electrode, commonly known in the industry as Inconel 182, is a nickel-chromium-iron flux-coated stick rod designed for Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW). This 1/8" (3.2mm) electrode is formulated with a significant manganese addition (typically 5.0% to 9.5%), which is critical for suppressing hot cracking—a common issue when welding fully austenitic nickel alloys or when dilution with iron occurs in dissimilar joints.
The weld deposit provided by this electrode exhibits high strength and excellent corrosion resistance at both normal and elevated temperatures. It resists oxidation and is stable in high-temperature service, making it suitable for applications involving cryogenic temperatures up to 900°F (480°C) and beyond, depending on the specific alloy being joined. The chemical composition is balanced to handle the dilution from carbon steel base metals without compromising the ductility of the weld metal, making it the standard choice for cladding the side of joints in clad steels and for welding iron-nickel-chromium alloys.
Designed for use with Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP), this electrode offers a smooth, stable arc with excellent control. It supports all-position welding, allowing operators to perform vertical and overhead welds with confidence. The slag system is designed to be easily removable, reducing cleanup time between passes. When welding dissimilar metals, such as joining 300-series stainless steel to mild steel, the ENiCrFe-3 filler metal acts as a buffer, preventing carbon migration and the formation of brittle phases that can lead to joint failure.
