ASME SFA A 5.9: ER308/308H
EN ISO 14343-A: 19 9 H
Werkstoff Nr.: 1.4302
Description and applications*
* Illustrative, not-exhaustive list
Austenitic stainless steel filler metal whit the same chemical composition as 308L, except that the allowable carbon content has been restricted to the higher
portion of the 308 range.
Carbon content in the range of 0.04%-0.08% provides higher tensile and creep strengths at elevated temperatures; it is used for service temperature up to +700°C.
Specially designed for welding 304H base metal.
This grade may be used for:
• welding type 304H material and other similar materials as below listed;
• applications where hot cracking resistance is expected;
• applications in chemical and petrochemical industries;
• applications in distillery, dairy and restaurant equipment productions;
• applications in pulp and paper industry.
Weldable base materials*
* Illustrative, not-exhaustive list
Austenitic stainless steels such as 301, 302, 304, 304H and 305.
All-weld metal mech. properties*
* For reference only values
Tensile strength (Rm): ≥ 550 N/mm2
Elongation: ≥ 30%
Yield Strength (Rp0.2): ≥ 350 N/mm2
