Exaton 24.13.L is a chromium-nickel strip electrode used for submerged arc welding (SAW) and high speed electro-slag welding (ESW) to deposit a buffer overlay of corrosion resistant alloy of 19%Cr/9%Ni composition on carbon- and low alloyed steels. It is combined with Exaton 19.9.L for surfacing of two layer overlays.
