SofTouch® Stainless Steel Underwater Welding Electrodes

The SofTouch® Stainless Steel Underwater Welding Electrodes have been a trusted choice for underwater welding professionals since 1989, when they were first specified in the U.S. Navy’s Ships Husbandry Manual, Chapter 11, “Underwater Wet and Dry Chamber Welding.” Known for their reliability and precision, these electrodes are preferred by welding engineers, divers, and contractors around the world for high-stakes repairs on naval vessels and other critical underwater structures.

SofTouch® electrodes feature a proprietary formula designed for superior performance in underwater conditions. This unique blend includes Broco’s BroCote™ flux-enhancing formulation, which ensures smoother, stronger welds with exceptional reliability, even in challenging environments. The proprietary formula makes SofTouch® easy to use while reducing labor costs, providing certifiable welds that meet industry specifications with less effort.

Meeting or exceeding the American Welding Society’s AWS D3.6 specifications for Type B welds, SofTouch® electrodes are built to satisfy the most rigorous quality standards. These electrodes undergo extensive testing, including radiographs, bends, and hardness checks, to ensure high-quality, long-lasting welds in underwater environments. Their ability to produce certifiable welds that withstand scrutiny reduces the need for rework and additional labor, saving time and money on every project.

Engineered specifically for stainless steel repairs, SofTouch® is the preferred choice of the U.S. Navy, shipyards, and contractors for essential vessel maintenance and repairs. It consistently outperforms in underwater stainless steel applications, delivering smooth, reliable results every time. With its proven track record and unmatched performance, the SofTouch® Stainless Steel Underwater Welding Electrode remains an essential tool for underwater welders worldwide.
