High-temperature welding ceramic
A dimensionally stable, heat-resistant backing material for the weld root that supports the shaping of the weld pool underside during single-sided welds.
Ceramic backing strips are the standard tool when you want to get the root of single-sided welds clean and neat. The ceramic withstands the heat and prevents the molten pool from burning through or sagging. You simply place the backing on the back side of the joint and fix it – that's all there is to it. If you position it properly, you get a uniform root without rework.
