StarBlaze Prime NiCrMo3
StarBlaze Prime NiCrMo3 is a high-performance nickel-based electrode designed for joint welding and surfacing of nickel-chromium-molybdenum and Cr/Ni/Mo/Nb-alloyed steels. It produces a fully austenitic, chemically stable weld metal that is cold-tough, heat-resistant, scale-resistant up to 1000°C, and embrittlement-resistant. Ideally suited for pressure tanks, plating work, and corrosive service environments with high temperature and chemical exposure.
