ENiCrFe-3 is an AWS A5.11 nickel-chromium-iron SMAW electrode (~67 Ni / 16 Cr / 8 Fe / Nb-Mn / UNS W86182) with 80 ksi minimum tensile, designed for welding Inconel 600 and 601 and for dissimilar-metal joints between nickel alloys and carbon or low-alloy steel pressure-vessel base. The higher manganese content improves hot-cracking resistance compared to ENiCrFe-2. Widely used in nuclear and pressure-vessel construction. DC+ in all positions.
