385 is a rutile flux coated electrode designed for welding the fully austenitic stainless steels of the 20%Cr / 25%Ni / 4.5%Mo / Cu type, used for their very high resistance to corrosion in severe, non-oxidising environments e.g. sulphuric acid.

The low carbon, high alloy content of 385 weld metal gives excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion and stress corrosion cracking, combined with superior resistance to crevice and pitting corrosion.

Use no preheat, avoid high heat-input and maintain an interpass temperature of maximum 150 °C.
