Sandvik 19.12.3.Nb (Welding wire)

Datasheet updated 2012-08-02 19:33:32 (supersedes all previous editions)

Sandvik 19.12.3.Nb is a niobium stabilised filler metal suitable for joining stainless steels of the 18Cr/8Ni/Mo, 18Cr/8Ni/Mo/Ti and 18Cr/8Ni/Mo/Nb types. Due to the strengthening effect of niobium, this grade is recommended if the weld metal will be exposed to temperatures above 400°C (750oF).

Standards

  • AWS ER318
  • EN number 19 12 3 Nb
