All Höganäs standard welding powders are based on sponge iron, well known for its consistency and low level of impurities. Whether used for coated welding electrodes or cored wires, our sponge iron powders offer high and uniform quality, giving advantages both to producers and end users of welding consumables.

Höganäs provides a complete range of welding powders, with varied particle size, particle shape and chemical composition. Among the standard welding grades are fine powders suitable for coated electrodes with small additions of iron powder and for all types of cored wires.

There are also coarse iron powders with both low and medium apparent density, frequently used for low-hydrogen electrodes corresponding to AWS E7018.

For coated high-efficiency electrodes such as the rutile AWS E7024, the basic AWS E7028 and the acid AWS E7027, all characterized by the large amount of iron powder in the coating, we offer a range of coarse high apparent density powders.

For production of low and high-alloyed electrodes, Höganäs also provides FeCr, FeMo and pure Molybdenum. 

Some examples of our products:

		W40.29 The particle shape and size distribution in combination with high purity make it suitable for low-hydrogen electrodes corresponding to AWS E7018.
		FeCr with low carbon is frequently used in the production of stainless steel electrodes.

		W40.37 A coarse high apparent density powder with smooth particle surface. Recommended for coated electrodes with large additions of iron powder.
		W100.25 A fine powder with low apparent density. Mainly used for flux and metal-cored wires and for coated electrodes with small additions of iron powder.
