UTP Soudonel is a synthetic basic-coated nickel-base stick electrode used for joining and cladding of high-temperature resistant Ni alloys, cold-tough steels, and stainless steels. UTP Soudonel can also be used for dissimilar joining of these materials, especially for repair jobs where good elongation of the pure weld metal is requested.

Instructions
1. The weld zone must be bare and properly degreased.
2. Prior to welding, the electrodes must be predried for 2-3 hours at 250-300�C.
3. The electrode is welded with a slight tilt, short arc, and sufficiently high amperage adjustment.
4. To avoid end crater cracks, the crater must be filled properly and the arc drawn away to the side.
