Postalloy® 27 Flux-coated Electrode
Postalloy® 27 is a non-cracking build-up electrode in the machinable range of hardness providing wear resistance that is far superior to low and medium carbon steel and low alloy steels. Deposits are extremely tough and have a high resistance to impact and deformation and are not subject to spalling or roll-over. In addition, deposits are dense, crack-free and porosity-free.

| Amps | Diameter |
|---|---|
| 90-120 | 1/8" (3.2mm) |
| 120-150 | 5/32" (4mm) |
| 160-180 | 3/16" (4.8mm) |
Welding Procedure:
Clean weld area. Use of Postalloy® 250 is recommended to remove fatigued or damaged metal. Preheat heavy sections to about 250 °F (121 °C). Use stringer or weaving technique holding a short to medium arc. Long deposits may be made without danger of cracking. Do not allow excessive heat buildup. Chip slag between passes. Allow part to cool slowly.
