Abranel S

Semi-synthetic basic electrode with 140% yield depositing an austenitic alloy, Inconel 600 type, for assembly and repair of Nickel alloys, pure Nickel, 5 and 9% Ni steels, cryogenic (down to -196°C) and refractory steels, Inconel 600 and Incoloy 800.

This electrode is highly effective for assembling and buttering steels considered difficult or very difficult to weld. It also finds numerous applications in heterogeneous stainless steel/low-alloy steels or stainless steel/nickel alloys assembly. Crack-insensitive deposit. Very good resistance to acids, salts and alkaline solutions, molten salts (e.g. cyanides), brazing fluxes, oxidizing atmospheres and fuels, etc.

(NB: Avoid sulphurous atmospheres).

Applications: Furnace parts, burners, heat treatment chambers and tanks, cement plants (furnace and roller casings), molds for parts, pickling tanks, transport and storage of liquid gases. Chemical industry, glassmaking, petrochemicals, public works, nickel steels, repair and maintenance workshops.

Electrode steaming: 250-300°C/1h. Joints to be welded must be clean and free of grease, cracks, etc. Weld with minimum heat input to eliminate hot cracking. Preheating is not necessary for homogeneous assemblies. However, for carbon steels, preheat the base metal (200-450°C, depending on grade) to limit ZAT cracking.
