Details
Key Features:
- No Back Shielding Required: Its primary advantage is eliminating the need for argon gas purging (back shielding). The internal flux creates a slag that protects the reverse side of the weld from oxidation.
- Cost & Time Efficiency: By removing the requirement for purging equipment and downtime, it significantly reduces operational costs for stainless steel pipe spools.
- Mechanical Properties: Designed to provide high corrosion resistance, particularly in marine or chemical environments due to its molybdenum content.
- Operating Efficiency: Eliminating back-shielding can reduce labor time by 23–74% and cut argon gas consumption by 55–91% compared to traditional solid rods.
- Mechanical Integrity:
- Tensile Strength: ~600 MPa (87,000 psi).
- 0.2% Proof Stress: ~440 MPa (63,800 psi).
- Impact Value: 90 J at -20°C.
- Weld Metal Composition: Contains 2.32% Molybdenum (Mo) for superior pitting and crevice corrosion resistance in chemical or marine environments
