XUPERFAB E 2209-17 AC/DC+

ELECTRODE FOR WELDING OF DUPLEX STAINLESS STEELS AND OVERLAYING OF STEELS

PRINCIPAL APPLICATIONS
For welding Ferritic-Austenitic duplex stainless steel grade (AISI 2205) and cladding on steels;
Typical applications are found in Off-shore engineering, Chemical, Petro-chemical, Shipbuilding
and High chloride environments, Paper and Pulp industries , valves, pumps, flanges, vessels,
pipelines, rotors and shafts, heat exchangers, food processing equipment’s.
OUTSTANDING FEATURES
· Excellent operating features and easy slag removal in all positions.
· Smooth, Fine-rippled weld beads with negligible spatter.
· Confirms to ASME Sec II, Part C, SFA 5.4-2007, Class E 2209-17.
CHARACTERISTICS
It offers high strength to thickness ratio, which makes it superior to austenitic stainless steel
within the service temperature range of –50 C to +250 C. precisely, controlled chemistry of the
core wire and the flux coating enables consistent achievement of outstanding weld metal
properties. Low carbon content of weld metal keeps free from intergranular corrosion. High
deposit ductility and optimum ferrite content always assures freedom from hot cracking
without sacrificing corrosion resistance.
PROCEDURE
Clean weld area. Bevel heavy sections 60 to 90 . Clamp or tack long seams. Use chill bars and
back-up plates to minimise distortion. Deposit stringer beads with shortest arc length. Chip out
slag between passes. Inter-pass temperature not to exceed 1500C.
