SofTouch® Stainless Steel Underwater Welding Electrodes

Since 1989, Broco SofTouch electrodes have been specifically designated in the U.S. Navy’s Ships Husbandry Manual, Chapter 11, focusing on "Underwater Wet and Dry Chamber Welding." The proprietary formula is crucial for ensuring reliability and ease of use, featuring the BroCote™ flux enhancing formulation. This facilitates certifiable welds with reduced labour costs, particularly for on-site repairs requiring underwater joining of stainless steel in accordance with precise specifications. SofTouch welds consistently surpass AWS D3.6 specifications for Type B welds, the American Welding Society’s benchmark for certifying underwater welds. Designed to meet all AWS test requirements, including radiograph, bends, and hardness, SofTouch ensures dependable performance in demanding underwater environments. This electrode is the preferred choice for welding engineers and divers engaged in stainless steel applications. Trusted by both U.S. and Navy diving commands, shipyards, and contractors worldwide, SofTouch is relied upon for repairs and maintenance on naval vessels, demonstrating its effectiveness and versatility in maritime operations.
