Description and applications*
* Illustrative, not-exhaustive list
Austenitic stainless steel filler metal with a low carbon content, which reduces the possibility of intergranular precipitation on the weld metal deposited, and thereby increases the resistance to intergranular corrosion without the use of stabilizers such as niobium or titanium.
This grade may be used for welding of all 18/8 type stainless steels at service temperatures, from -120°C up to 350°C, e.g. for tubes, tanks, heat exchangers, piping systems.
Intended use: core wire for electrodes.
