Description and applications*
Austenitic stainless steel filler metal with a low carbon content, which reduces the possibilities of intergranular carbide precipitation, and thereby increases the resistance to intergranular corrosion without the use of stabilizers such as niobium or titanium.
The presence of molybdenum provides creep resistance in a halide atmosphere. It is slightly magnetic.
This grade may be used for:
• welding low-carbon molybdenum-bearing austenitic alloys;
• joining and surfacing of stainless steels of similar composition (CrNi and CrNiMo steels/cast steels);
• joining of all austenitic stainless steels;
• applications as capweld for the clad side of plates having equivalent coating;
• applications for food processing and dairy industry.

Marking
Each filler rod for GTAW welding is durably marked with an identification traceable to the unique product type. Welding filler materials wound on spools or in coils are durably marked on the coil or spool with an identification traceable to the unique product type.
The outside of each unit package is suitably labelled with at minimum the following data: grade, diameter, heat, lot no., classifications.
CE marking type-testing performed and available.
Customized labels are available upon request.
