Patent ID: 8168922

Claim:
A cored electrode to form a high manganese metal deposition that includes at least about 4 weight percent manganese by weight of the metal deposition and at least about 10 weight percent chromium by weight of the metal deposition, said cored electrode comprising a metal sheath and filling composition, said filling composition including metal alloying agents and a slag system and having a weight percentage ratio of said metal alloying agents to said slag system in said filling composition is at least about 1.5:1, said slag system including about 0.1-4 weight percent of the cored electrode potassium oxide, sodium oxide or mixtures thereof, about 0.2-4 weight percent of the cored electrode aluminum oxide, about 0.1-3 weight percent of the cored electrode fluoride generating compound, about 0.2-6 weight percent of the cored electrode silicon dioxide, and about 1-8 weight percent of the cored electrode titanium dioxide.
