Description

Solid wire to match fully austenitic alloy 904L
Corrosion-resistant, chromium-nickel-molybdenum-copper solid wire rod for welding austenitic stainless alloys of the 20% Cr, 25% Ni, 5% Mo, 1.5% Cu, low C types. Its weld metal has good resistance to stress corrosion and intergranular corrosion and shows very good resistance to attack in non-oxidising acids. The resistance to crevice corrosion is better than that of ordinary 18% Cr, 8% Ni, Mo steels. The alloy is widely used in many applications related to the process industry.

Description

Application

Known for delivering a fully austenitic, low-carbon weld metal enriched with Mo and Cu, these consumables exhibit exceptional resistance to corrosion in sulphuric, phosphoric, and various inorganic and organic acids. Not the typical choice for environments demanding resistance to concentrated nitric acid, they excel in scenarios involving severe chloride pitting media, where opting for overmatching nickel base weld metal, such as alloy 625, is recommended. Noteworthy as the preferred weld metal for certain lower alloy austenitics like Creusot UHB 34L and UHB 734L, especially in wet process phosphoric acid service, these consumables find versatile applications. Their usage spans tanks, process vessels, piping systems, agitators, rotors, and cast pumps and valves, catering to the needs of fertilizer, phosphoric, sulphuric, and acetic acid plants. Additionally, they prove invaluable in salt and seawater environments and are enlisted in select offshore applications, including overlays on mild and low alloy steels. The welding process mandates no preheat or post-weld heat treatment (PWHT), with interpass temperatures carefully regulated to a maximum of 150°C. It's crucial to exercise control over heat input, especially when utilizing larger diameter shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) electrodes.

Alloy Type

904L is a nominally 20%Cr-25%Ni-5%Mo-2%Cu alloy with good corrosion resistance.
