Sandvik 22.11.L (Welding strip)

Datasheet updated 2011-10-13 13:24:17 (supersedes all previous editions)

Sandvik 22.11.L is a strip electrode used to obtain a corrosion resistant overlay weld deposit on C-, CMn- and low-alloy steels using electroslag welding (ESW) with the flux Sandvik 47S. It gives 304/304L/E308/E308L chemical composition when used in single layer technique or 304L/E308L when combined with Sandvik 19.9.L strip electrode for the second layer.

It can also be combined with Sandvik 19.9.LNb for the second layer to obtain 347/E347 or Sandvik 19.12.3.L to obtain 316L/E316L.

There are also other possible combinations and conditions.

Consider the figures as examples. Parameters selected and conditions influence on the result. Please contact Sandvik for details and guidelines.

Corrosion properties of overlay

The resistance to general corrosion is good in many mildly corrosive media.

The resistance to intergranular corrosion in Strauss testing (ASTM A262 Practice E) is good if the overlay is not post-weld-heat-treated unless the Carbon content is maximum 0,03 %.

In pitting corrosion applications Mo-alloyed strip electrodes shall be selected. Contact Sandvik for more information.

Mechanical properties of overlay

Passes side bend testing according to ASME Section IX.

Direct current, with electrode positive is normally used.

The welding data in the table represent the operation capability of the flux. The desired properties of the overlay are obtained by proper selection of the settings within the ranges.

Applications

22.11.L is a multi purpose grade used for corrosion resistant weld surfacing of components in the chemical, petrochemical, nuclear, marine industries. Typical components are pressure vessels, heat exchangers, shafts, industrial piping etc

It is often used as transition layer on which a second layer is welded, using for example Sandvik 19.9.L, 19.9.LNb, 19.12.3.L, 22.8.3.L, for better corrosion resistance.
