HFM 21 S

Basic electrode for creep-resistant steels

Product description

Low-hydrogen chromium-molybdenum basic electrode for welding creep-resistant steels up to 600°C (including cast steels 2%Cr – 1%Mo). Good resistance to hydrogen (H2S, etc.).

Applications: superheaters, valve bodies, tubes, boilers, hydrocrackers.
