OVERVIEW

Premium Inconel 182 Welding Electrodes for Demanding Alloys

Josef Gas provides high-performance Inconel 182 (ENiCrFe-3) welding electrodes, specifically engineered for the shielded metal-arc welding (SMAW) of nickel-chromium-iron alloys. This 3/32" diameter electrode comes in a durable 10 lb can, ensuring your consumables remain dry and ready for critical fabrication or repair tasks. Known for its exceptional ability to handle extreme environments, the Inconel 182 is a staple for industries requiring robust joining of Inconel 600 and 601 alloys.

One of the primary strengths of this electrode is its versatility in dissimilar welding applications. It is the go-to solution for maintenance teams and fabricators needing to join Inconel alloys to carbon steels, stainless steels to nickel alloys, or even Monel to carbon steel. The resulting weld deposit exhibits outstanding high-temperature strength and resistance to oxidation, making it suitable for components exposed to thermal cycling and corrosive atmospheres. Whether you are repairing heat-treating equipment or fabricating chemical processing vessels, these electrodes deliver reliable, radiographic-quality results.

At Josef Gas, we understand that specialty alloys require precise consumables. Our Inconel 182 rods are formulated to provide excellent operability, particularly in groove and fillet welds. While optimized for the downhand position, the 3/32" size offers significant control for skilled welders in various positions. The flux coating is designed to stabilize the arc and produce a slag that is easily removed, reducing cleanup time and improving the aesthetic of the finished bead. Trust Josef Gas for your specialty alloy needs and ensure your welds meet the rigorous standards of the AWS A5.11 specification.

Key Applications

  • Welding Inconel alloys 600 and 601.
  • Joining dissimilar metals (e.g., Stainless Steel to Carbon Steel).
  • Overlay cladding on steel for corrosion resistance.
  • Repairing furnace parts and heat exchangers.

FAQ

Inconel 182 falls under the AWS A5.11 specification with the classification ENiCrFe-3.

Yes, Inconel 182 is excellent for dissimilar metal welding, including joining stainless steel to carbon steel, as it accommodates the differences in thermal expansion.

These electrodes are designed to be used with Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP).

While the description highlights excellent operability in the downhand position, the 3/32" diameter is generally small enough to be used in other positions with proper technique.

It is primarily used for welding Inconel alloys 600 and 601, as well as Incoloy alloys.

Yes, the high nickel and chromium content provides excellent resistance to oxidation at high temperatures.

Typically, 3/32" ENiCrFe-3 electrodes run best between 65 and 95 Amps, though you should always test on scrap metal first.

Like most low-hydrogen and specialty electrodes, they should be stored in a dry environment. Once the can is opened, it is best to store them in a rod oven to prevent moisture pickup.
