Hilchrome 600 is our basic coated DC electrode for welding high-grade nickel-base alloys like Inconel® 600. Typical applications include joining and surfacing high-temperature and creep resisting steels, heat-resisting and cryogenic materials i.e. cold-tough steels (9% Ni), dissimilar joining and low-alloyed problem steels. The electrode is suitable for usage between -196ºC up to +650ºC, a maximum operating temperature of 1200º (in an S-free environment), highly resistant to hot cracking. Hilchrome 600 is a core wire alloyed.
