Characteristics and typical fields of application Stainless. Resistant to scaling up to 850 °C (1562 °F). No adequate resistance against sulphureous combustion gases at temperatures above 500 °C (932 °F). For joining and surfacing applications with heat resistant Cr steels / cast steel grades and heat resistant austenitic steels/cast steel grades. Well suited to fabricating austenitc-ferritic joints – max. application temperature 300 °C (572 °F). For joining unalloyed / low alloy or Cr steels / cast steel grades to austenitic steels. Low heat input required in order to avoid brittle martensitic transition zones. Not suitable for the welding of buffer layer, cladded sheet metal or cladding applications. Base materials TÜV certified parent metal 1.4583 – X10CrNiMoNb18-12 as well as included parent metals combined with ferritic steels up to fine grained structural steels grade StE 355 (P355N); high tensile, unalloyed and alloyed structural, quenched and tempered, and armour steels, same parent metal or in combination; unalloyed and alloyed boiler or structural steels with highalloyed Cr and CrNi steels; heat resistant steels up to 850 °C (1562 °F); austenitic high manganese steel with matching and other steels. Cryogenic sheet metals and pipe steels in combination with austenitic parent metals.
