List of Approved Welding Consumable Brands by Reliance
NOTES :

1. For internal circulation only. Not for use by any vendor.


2. This list may undergo any change at any time depending on the performance of a
particular brand of Welding consumable /vendor.
3. QMD shall be contacted before placing any order on any brand other than those approved.
4. Wherever there is change /addition in brand names / manufacturers names etc in this
revision, the affected area is marked with revision number.
5. Due to manipulation of mechanical properties / PWHT report in LAS(E8018-B8) TC and
electrode mix up problem (E7018 electrodes found under the packet of E8018-B6) at site,
all low alloy steel and stainless steel electrodes of M/S D&H Secheron are removed from
approval list.
6. Due to bulk product problem (porosity, taper burning), Gricon Green (E7018) of M/S GEE
is withdrawn from approval list. However Conditional Approval may be provided on case
to case basis and it is not to be procured without approval of HOD-QMD.
7. Due to weld crack problems observed, ESAB KV4 (E8018-B6) of M/s ESAB is withdrawn
from approval list.
8. Due to overall inconsistent product performance resulting in field problems, delays in
customer response affecting fast track projects, most of the ESAB brands are withdrawn.
9. Against Advani-Oerlikon, all SMAW brands are withdrawn, since the organization is
changed to Ador Welding and maintaining old formulation against earlier approved brands
is not assured by manufacturer.
10.Cosmic-Fontech organization name is changed to Ador Fontech. However, for GTAW filler
wires, there is no change in formulation, as affirmed by manufacturer. Hence changed
brand names are specified.
11. 16-8-2 type SMAW, GTAW and FCAW products of Metrode were approved by M/S Bechtel.
12. DK-18 (E7018) of M/S Dwekem is removed from approval list as the quality control
ownership of the organization is changed.
13. Due to overall inconsistent product performance (such as gas marks, lump formation in
positional welding and porosity) in shop as well as field, MGA-12 (E71T1C) of M/s Mailam
India Limited is withdrawn from approval list.
