A SUPER DUPLEX ELECTRODE FOR WELDING ALLOYS OF SIMILAR COMPOSITION
IDENTIFICATION
GRITINOX 25.9.4 L E 25.9.4-17
CLASSIFICATION
AWS/SFA 5.4:E2594-17 EN 1600: E2594 NLR
DESCRIPTION
Gritinox 25.9.4L electrode is designed to match similar alloys The electrode gives matching strength and corrosion resistance in the solution treated condition but can also be used in the as-welded condition. Nitrogen and nickel contents are controlled to give a balanced duplex structure to minimize the risk of cracking, particularly in highly restrained welds.
