Arcaloy Er276 is a solid wire and is for welding Hastelloy C-276®, UNS N10276, and similar alloys. It is one of the filler metals suitable for the welding of stainless steels containing 4% or more molybdenum. It is used for dissimilar joints between nickel alloys, stainless and low alloy steels. It can also be used for cladding steels. Depending upon its form, Arcaloy ER276 can be used in the MIG, TIG or submerged arc processes to name the three most common. In the case of the MIG (GMAW), spray, pulse or short-arc modes of transfer are used depending on the gas used. With this process, shielding gases of argon possibly with helium and very small quantities of oxygen or carbon dioxide are used. For TIG (GTAW), 100% argon or argon with some helium additions are used. A flux, such as OK Flux 10.16, is used with the larger sizes of Arcaloy ER276 for submerged-arc welding.
