Description and applications*
Ferritic stainless steel filler metal with low carbon content and stabilised with niobium. Improved intergranular corrosion resistance and good temperature resistance.
This grade is developed and designed for the Automotive industry, for production of exhaust systems. In particular, it may be used for:
• welding similar ferritic stainless steels;
• welding of heterogeneous assemblies including carbon steel and austenitic stainless steel base metals;
• applications where there is a need for good resistance to corrosion and thermal fatigue.
Weldabe base materials*
* Illustrative, not-exhaustive list
1.4512, 1.4510, 1.4526, 1.4509, carbon steel (e.g. Fe 37), austenitic stainless steels (e.g. AISI 304).

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.
Customized labels are available upon request.
Lot classification
All our productions fulfil the Class S3 requirements acc. to EN ISO 14344.
