Product description

DESCRIPTION

Stainless steel flux-cored wire for submerged arc welding

– 24% chromium – 13% nickel – low-carbon deposit

– Excellent slag removal, even at the bottom of chamfers, good bead appearance

– High deposition rates, good wetting properties and flexible parameter settings enable significantly higher productivity than with the corresponding solid wires.

– Mineral additions to forage improve both mechanical properties and resistance to cracking

– Very good radiographic quality

– Soldered in combination with WAF 325 flux

Product application instructions

APPLICATIONS

Assembly of steels with alloying element contents between 22 – 26% Cr and

11 – 14% Ni and ferritic stainless steels

– Welding 18Cr – 8Ni steels in corrosive environments requiring alloyed deposited metal

– Joining stainless steels with non- or low-alloy steels

– Reconstitution or undercoating before plating or reloading

– Repair work on steels with limited weldability

Examples

Heterogeneous joints between stainless steels type 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 318, 316Ti, 321, 410, 1.4713, 1.4724, 1.4742, 3Cr12 and non/low-alloy CMn steels.
