Application field Joint welding of matching base materials, as Material-No. 2.4819 (NiMo16Cr15W) and surfacing on low-alloyed steels. It is employed primarily for welding components in plants for chemical processes with highly corrosive media, but also for surfacing press tools, punches etc. which operate at high temperatures. Properties of the weld metal In addition to its exceptional resistance to contaminated mineral acids, chlorine-contaminated media, and chloride containing media, it resists strong oxidisers such as ferric and cupric chlorides and is one of the few materials which will resist wet chlorine gas. Welding properties The stick electrode can be welded in all positions except vertical-down. Stable arc, easy slag removal.
