Applications and Features :

• Weld metal is austenite structure with 18%Cr-12%Ni-2%Mo.

• It has superior corrosion resistance to acetic acid, phosphoric acid, acetate and phosphate due to additional Mo content.

• It is ideal for welding chemical vessels (AISI 316) or stainless steel with 13% Cr or 18% Cr that does not require PWHT.

 

Welding Instruction

(1) Use Ar blend with 1~2%O2 for high current, spray transfer welding. (2) Use Ar blend with 1~2%CO2 for low current, short-circuit transfer welding.
