Description and applications*
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. The presence of molybdenum provides creep resistance and increased ductility at elevated temperatures.
This grade may be used for welding and cladding on austenitic Cr-Ni-Mo stainless steels and clad plates, at service temperatures from -120°C up to 400°C, e.g. in the chemical and petrochemical industry, in refineries, in the food processing industry and for ship building to weld pipes, tanks, heat exchangers.
Intended use: core wire for electrodes.
