Bare, corrosion-resistant welding rods for welding austenitic stainless steels of the 20Cr-25Ni- 4.5Mo-1.5Cu type.
The 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 pitting and crevice corrosion is better than that of ordinary 18Cr-8Ni-Mo steels.
ES TIG 385 is typically used in the chemical industry, sea water, pharmaceuticals applicatio-ns, pulp and paper industries, Used in fabricati-on of equipment and vessels for handling and storage of sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid.
