Description

Controlled ferrite solid wire for 304L base materials used in cryogenic applications
These consumables are especially formulated to weld 18/8 stainless steels used in cryogenic applications. Thanks to the balanced chemistry the controlled weld metal ferrite content (3 ÷8 FN) allows to achieve good cryogenic toughness and minimum lateral expansion down to –196°C. Resistant to intergranular corrosion up to 350°C. Mainly applications include pipework, LNG storage and vessel for cryogenic service.

Description

Application

The 308LCF product is used for welding austenitic stainless steels 18\/8, with operational service temperatures down to -196 °C. The components, including controlled ferrite electrodes for SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding) and flux-cored wires, are specifically designed for cryogenic applications. Major applications include the welding of pipelines and tanks intended for cryogenic service, as in the case of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Preheating is not necessary, and the maximum allowable interpass temperature is 250 °C, while a temperature of 300 °C may be acceptable for thicker section materials. No post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) is required. To achieve optimal impact properties, it is recommended to operate at the upper extremes of the allowable heat input ranges.

Alloy Type

Controlled ferrite 308L austenitic stainless steels for joining 304L base materials used in cryogenic applications.

Microstructure

Austenite with a controlled level of ferrite, 2-5FN (3-8FN for solid wires).
