XL-45 Z is special a purpose electrode developed for welding hot dip galvanized baths. The weld metal is highly resistance to molten zinc corrosion. The very low silicon content ensures very good wettability on the steel.
Typical applications include welding and fabrication of galvanized bath and filling up of worn out bodies of galvanized bath to resist corrosion by molten zinc, window frames, thin walled tank and vessels etc.
