How to Weld with Stellite

Stellite is resistant to corrosion and wear, even in high temperatures. It retains hardness up to 930 degrees Fahrenheit and is used for valve seats, bearings, erosion shields and various other items. Because of its durable qualities, welding with Stellite improves the corrosion resistance of the metal to which it is welded. Metal inert gas welding, also known as MIG welding, is suggested because of its ease of use for first-time welders.
