Oxford Alloy #12 Coated is a non-ferrous, cobalt-chromium-tungsten alloy. This electrode is recommended for metal–to-metal abrasion involving high temperature and/or corrosive media with moderate impact. Oxford Alloy #12 Coated weld deposits are smooth and it acquires a high polish in use. This alloy is nonmag-netic and is not forgeable. It can be machined with difficulty using carbide tools. Oxford Alloy #12 Coated bonds well with weldable alloy steels, including stainless.

Note: The typical hardness values listed above are for multilayer welds. Hardness values for single deposits will be lower because of dilution from the base metal.
