4 Choice of welding consumables Balanced composition The composition of the welding consumab le normally corresponds to that of the parent metal. For example, parent metal 304L (18% Cr, 8% Ni) is welded with a 308L filler metal (19% Cr, 9% Ni). In general, the contents of the main alloying elements – Cr, Ni and Mo – are high er in the welding con sum able than in the parent metal in order to compensate for segregation in the weld metal. Impurity levels, however, are lower in the consumable than in the parent metal in order to reduce the risk of hot cracking, and to obtain the best arc stability,...

TIG rods are therefore made in both variants. The main reason for high silicon electrodes for plasma-arc welding is their greater availability. Submerged-arc welding The normal-silicon content version is required for submerged-arc welding. High silicon versions are not suitable because the silicon pick-up from the flux would result in too high silicon content in the deposit. Simplified stock holding For stock holding reasons, many fabricators use one consumable grade to weld several different parent metals. Molybdenum has been shown to give only positive effects, except in highly concentrated,...

6 Recommended selection of welding consumables The tables below give typical selections of welding consumables and basic designations for wire electrodes and filler wire/rods. They do not indicate the Sialloyed variants used for MIG welding or the variants of covered electrodes or wire-flux combinations for submergedarc welding. For exact designations, please refer to the tables with chemical compositions in the various sections of this brochure. To address the welding job in question a number of factors have to be consider ed. The weld geometry and dilution, requirements for heat treatment in...

8 A full product programme Our programme contains filler metals in standard and special stainless steels and alloys suitable for MIG, TIG, plasma-arc and sub merged -arc welding. For most standard grades there are variants with both normal and high silicon content to suit different welding methods. All grades have a well con trolled, low impurity level to reduce the risk of hot cracking. Please refer to "Choice of welding consumables" on page 4 for more details. We pay attention to the delivery form Wire for MIG, mechanised TIG and submerg ed-arc welding is delivered as standard on environmentally...
