OK AristoRod™ 13.12 is a 1.1Cr-0.5Mo-alloyed, bare, solid wire for the GMAW of creep-resistant steels of the same composition, like those used for pipes in pressure vessels and boilers with a service temperature of up to 450°C. OK AristoRod™ 13.12 is treated with ESAB’s unique Advanced Surface Characteristics (ASC) technology, taking MAG welding operations to new levels of performance and all-round efficiency, especially in robotic and mechanised welding.
Characteristic features include:
- Excellent start properties
- Trouble-free feeding at high wire speeds
- Lengthy feed distances
- Very stable arc at high welding currents
- Extremely low levels of spatter
- Low fume emission
- Reduced contact tip wear
- Improved protection against corrosion of the wire
