INCONEL Welding Electrode 182 is used for shielded-metal-arc welding of INCONEL alloys 600 and 601. The weld metal has excellent high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance and can meet stringent radiographic requirements. Dissimilar welds for which the electrode are used include INCONEL alloys and INCOLOY alloys joined to carbon steels, stainless steels, nickel and MONEL alloys, MONEL alloys joined to carbon steels; nickel joined to stainless steels; and stainless steels joined to carbon steels.

The electrodes provide excellent operability for groove and fillet welding in the down hand position and the smaller diameter electrodes are also suitable for all position welding.
