Re: [MW:15211] Why Austenitic stainless steel electrodes are generally smaller in length

Austenitic SS have high thermal coefficient of expansion and Lower thermal conductivity compared to carbon steels. Hence they retain heat for longer time and electrodes have tendency to get RED HOT while welding. To avoid this the electrode sizes are smaller in length compared to carbon steel ones.   Regards   Prem Nautiyal cell: 9769316004 --- On Sun, 9/2/12, sevak hiren <hirensevak80@gmail.com> wrote: From: sevak hiren <hirensevak80@gmail.com> Subject: [MW:15183] Why Austenitic stainless steel electrodes are generally smaller in length To: materials-welding@googlegroups.com Date: Sunday, September 2, 2012, 10:47 AM Dear all, Why Austenitic stainless steel electrodes are generally smaller in length ? -- To post to this group, send email to materials-welding@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to materials-welding+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group's bolg at http://materials-welding.blogspot.com/ http://www.linkedin.com/groups/MaterialsWelding-122787?home=&gid=122787&trk=anet_ug_hm   The views expressed/exchnaged in this group are members personel views and meant for educational purposes only, Users must take their own decisions w.r.t. applicable code/standard/contract documents.
