Characteristics:
It is austenitic stainless steel filler metal for welding of 18%Cr-12%Ni-2%Mo types. The molybdenum increased pitting corrosion resistance. The low carbon content improved intergranular corrosion.
Applications:
Typical applications include welding of 18%Cr-12%Ni-2%Mo stainless steel in chemical, oil and gas refineries.
Notes on Usage:
- Use Spray Transfer or Short Circuit Transfer mode.
- 98%Argon – 2%O2 shielding gas is recommended.
