GAS AND TIG CONSUMABLES
COMWELD SUPER STEEL
Comweld Super Steel is a copper coated ‘triple deoxidised’ steel welding rod
recommended for the high quality Gas Tungsten Arc (TIG) welding of carbon and
carbon-Manganese steels.
Comweld Super Steel is deoxidised with Titanium, Aluminium and Zirconium in
addition to Manganese and Silicon for improved weld deposit quality. It is the
ideal choice for TIG welding rusty or mill scaled plates and pipes and the root pass
welding of pipes, tanks and heavy walled joints where good root toughness and
radiographic soundness are achieved under high dilution.
Procedure for Gas (Oxy-acetylene) Welding:
1. Thoroughly clean all areas to be welded.
2. Adjust flame to a neutral setting.
3. Preheat thicker joint sections.
4. Heat a small area of the joint until molten and progressively add Comweld
Super Steel filler rod to the weld pool. Ensure the rod is melted by the molten
weld pool and not the flame.
5. Allow completed joint to cool and remove residual scale by grinding, or wire
brushing.
Procedure for Gas Tungsten Arc (TIG) Welding:
1. Thoroughly clean all areas to be joined.
2. For the butt welding of thick plates, bevel edges to 60°-70° included angle.
3. Use a Thoriated or Ceriated tungsten electrode, ground to a sharp needle
point making sure the grinding lines run with the length (longitudinally) of the
electrode’s axis. The length of the needle point should be approximately 2-3 x
the diameter of the tungsten electrode.
4. Use Direct Current Electrode Negative (DC-) and Welding Grade Argon.
5. Preheat thick sections prior to welding. Heat a spot on the base metal until it
shows signs of melting and progressively add the filler rod to the weld pool.

COMWELD CRMO1
Comweld CrMo1 is a copper coated steel TIG welding rod alloyed with nominally
1.25% Chromium (Cr) and 0.50% Molybdenum (Mo). It is recommended for the
TIG welding of 1/2Cr-1/2Mo, 1Cr-1/2Mo and 1 1/4Cr-1/2Mo steel pipes, plates
and castings used at elevated service temperatures (up to 550°C) in the power and
petrochemical industries etc.
Features:
Resealable 5kg Cardboard Tube.
For the Gas Tungsten Arc (TIG) Welding of Cr - Mo Creep Resistant Steels for Elevated
Temperature and Corrosive Service.
End Stamped with AWS Class ER80S-B2 for Easy Identification.
Comweld CrMo1 is also suitable for the dissimilar TIG welding of Cr-Mo steel to
carbon steel and for the welding of case hardenable steels or steels which can be
subsequently heat treated.
Procedure for Gas Tungsten Arc (TIG) Welding:
1. Thoroughly clean all areas to be joined.
2. For the butt welding of thicker plates, bevel edges to 60°-70° included angle.
3. Use a Thoriated or Ceriated tungsten electrode, ground to a sharp needle point
making sure the grinding lines run with the length (longitudinally) of the
electrode’s axis. The length of the needle point should be approximately 2-3 x
the diameter of the tungsten electrode.
4. Use Direct Current Electrode Negative (DC-) and Welding Grade Argon.
5. The control of preheat, interpass and post weld heat treatment temperatures
is critical to avoiding weld cracking. Heat a spot on the base metal until it
shows signs of melting and progressively add the filler rod to the weld pool.
