Sandvik 19.9.NbSi (Welding wire)

Datasheet updated 2012-08-02 19:26:31 (supersedes all previous editions)

Sandvik 19.9.NbSi is a filler metal particularly suited for MIG welding. It can also be used for TIG and plasma arc welding. It is suitable for joining stainless steels of the 18Cr/8Ni/Nb and 18Cr/8Ni/Ti types. Due to the strengthening effect of niobium, this grade is recommended if the weld metal is exposed to temperatures above 400°C (750oF).
