A medium heavy coated, air hardening electrode for overlaying hard surface on mild steel and low alloy carbon steel, deposits are non-machinable and can only grounded. It is best suited for abrasion and impact or both together in service. Use RATNA 18/8/5 or RATNA 7016 as buffer layer on austenitic/ carbon steel.
