PHILSTAIN 385

AWS Specification: AWS A5.4 E385-16

JIS Specification: NONE

Other Specification: NONE

I. APPLICATIONS:

It is used to welding of high Ni and Mo stainless steels which show excellent resistance properties to acids and pitting corrosion such as URANA B-6 and B6M, NAR-20-25LMCu, UHB 904L, Sandvik 2RK65, Cronifer 1925LC, Avesta 254SLX as specified in ASTM B625 UNS N08904.

II. DESCRIPTION:

PHILSTAIN 385 is for welding of materials of similar chemical composition. It is used in fabrication of equipment and structures for handling sulfuric and phosphoric acid.

III. NOTES ON USAGE:

Choose the welding current as low as possible, keep the arc length as short as possible.

TEST RESULT

The information contained or otherwise referenced herein is presented only as “typical” without guarantee or warranty, and Industrial Welding Corporation expressly disclaims any liability incurred from any reliance thereon. Typical data and Test results for mechanical properties, deposit or electrode composition and other properties were obtained from a weld produced and tested according to prescribed standards, and should not be assumed to be the expected results in a particular application or weldment. Actual results will vary depending on many factors, including, but not limited to, weld procedure, plate chemistry and temperature, weldment design and fabrication methods. Users are cautioned to confirm by qualification testing, or other appropriate means, the suitability of any welding consumable and procedure before use in the intended application.
