OK AristoRod 13.22 is a 2.5Cr-1.0Mo-alloyed, bare, solid wire for the GMAW of creep-resistant steels of similar composition, with service temperatures of up to 600°C, but is also suitable for welding high strength steels. OK AristoRod 13.22 is treated with ESABs 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 and lengthy feed distances; a very stable arc at high welding currents; extremely low levels of spatter; low fume emission; reduced contact tip wear and improved protection against corrosion of the wire.
