1 -for welding and surfacing of unalloyed and AC Alternating H5 5
lowalloyed steels (general structural, high tensile,
some heat-resistant steels); there aren’t any DC Direct H10 10
alloying elements added, except Si and Mn (burn-
out or pick-up according to table)
H 15 15

2 - for welding and surfacing of Cr- in Cr-Ni stainless


steel, heat-resistant steels and Ni and Ni-alloy

3 - mainly for surfacing, (burn-out and pick-up of


added elements according to table)
