Sandvik 24.13.LNb (Welding strip)

Datasheet updated 2011-10-13 13:24:18 (supersedes all previous editions)

Sandvik 24.13.LNb is a strip electrode used to obtain a E309LNb corrosion resistant overlay weld deposit on C-, CMn- and low-alloyed steels using submerged-arc welding (SAW) with the flux Sandvik 10SW or electroslag welding (ESW) with the high speed flux Sandvik 49S. It gives a 347/E347 chemical composition when used in single layer technique. Sandvik 24.13.LNb can also be combined with Sandvik 19.9.LNb for the second layer to obtain a 347/E347 weld deposit. There are also other possible combinations and conditions.

Mechanical properties of overlay

Passes side bend testing according to ASME Section IX.

Corrosion properties of overlay

The resistance to general corrosion is good. It is a general purpose overlay for midly corrosive media, also at elevated temperatures for example in the petrochemical industry.

The resistance to intergranular corrosion in Strauss testing (ASTM A262 Practice E) is good also after post-weld-heat-treatment.

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

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

Sandvik 24.13.LNb is used for corrosion resistant weld surfacing of components in the chemical, petrochemical, nuclear industry. Typical components are pressure vessels, heat exchangers, shafts, industrial piping etc.

It is very common in petrochemical applications.

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