G-TECH 109

Exhibiting commendable impact strength at low temperatures, this filler material is well-suited for welding high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) used in cranes and earthmoving equipment. Applications extend to offshore fabrication and the chemical and petrochemical industry, where the precise addition of micro-alloying elements ensures excellent ductility and crack resistance despite the high strength. Preheating requirements depend on the base material and thickness, often mandating a minimum preheat of 100°C. Caution is warranted with certain HSLA steels, as interpass temperatures exceeding 200°C may lead to a reduction in strength and toughness. Post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) requirements are generally dependent on the specific base material and application. This filler material's composite properties offer a blend of durability, weldability, and machinability, making it an ideal choice for manufacturing diverse mechanical components.
