Description / Abstract:
Form
This specification covers a corrosion and heat-resistant steel
in the form of welding wire.
Application
This wire has been used typically as filler metal for
gas-tungsten-arc or gas-metal-arc welding of corrosion and
heatresistant alloys of similar composition, but usage is not
limited to such applications.
The relatively high ferrite content promotes weldability by
combating microfissuring and minimizing cracking in heavy sections
but limits use of the wire to applications not operating in the
sigma forming temperature range, approximately 1100 to 1600 °F (590
to 870 °C).
