ASME SFA A 5.9: ER347
EN ISO 14343-A: 19 9 Nb
Werkstoff Nr.: 1.4551
Description and applications*
Austenitic stainless steel filler metal with a significant presence of niobium, that provides resistance to intergranular chromium carbide precipitation and thus increased resistance to intergranular corrosion. The high silicon content improves the usability of the filler metal in the gas metal arc welding process.
Good general corrosion resistance and pitting corrosion resistance.
This grade may be used for:
• welding and overlay of chromium-nickel stainless steel base metals of similar composition stabilized either by Nb or Ti (e.g. types 321 and 347);
• applications at temperatures higher than 400°C;
• applications for the chemical industry, particularly at high temperatures (e.g. equipments intermittently heated within a temperature ranges varying from 450°C to 800°C) a/o for applications such as firewalls and pressure vessels;
• applications for the food processing, dairy, oil and textile industry due to its good corrosion resistance.

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.
