Corrosion properties- all-weld metal

Sandvik 19.9.L has good resistance to general corrosion and due to its low carbon content, good resistance to intercrystalline corrosion. It also has good resistance to oxidizing agents. Example: Huey test for MIG weld metal (5 x 48 hours in boiling 65% HNO3). Rate of corrosion mean value, 0.11 mm/year.

Sandvik can provide recommendations for shielding gases.

Short-arc welding is used with light gauge material of less than about 3 mm, in depositing root runs, and in welding out-of-flat positions.

The higher the inductance in short-arc welding, the higher the fluidity of the molten pool.

Spray-arc welding is normally used for heavier gauge material.

TIG welding

The parameters for TIG welding depend largely upon the base metal thickness and the welding application.

Electrode negative and a shielding gas of argon or helium should be used to prevent oxidation of the weld metal.

Submerged-arc welding

Electrode positive is suggested for joint welding to give good penetration.
