GRITINOX 904L E385-17
CLASSIFICATION
AWS/SFA 5.4 E 385-17 DIN 8556-86 E20.25.5L CuR26
DESCRIPTION
A rutile flux coated electrode designed for welding the fully austenitic stainless steels of the 20% Cr / 25% Ni /4.5 % Mo / Cu type, used for their very high resistance to corrosion in severe, non-oxidising environments like sulphuric acid. The low carbon, high alloy content of the deposited weld metal gives excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion and stress corrosion cracking combined with superior resistance to crevice and pitting corrosion. The weld metal is of X-ray quality.
