Sandvik 24.13.LHF (Welding wire)
Datasheet updated 2012-08-17 14:53:16 (supersedes all previous editions)
Sandvik 24.13.LHF welding wire is used for TIG, plasma-arc, MIG and submerged-arc welding. It is particularly suitable for overlay welding and joining dissimilar steels, for example austenitic stainless steels to low alloyed or non alloyed steels. It has excellent resistance to hot cracking due to its enhanced ferrite content.

Corrosion resistance - all-weld metal
Sandvik 24.13.LHF is normally used for joints between non alloyed or low alloyed steels and stainless steels, where resistance to corrosion is of secondary importance.
Recommended welding data
MIG welding
Electrode positive is used to give good penetration in all types of welded joint. The following table shows common conditions for MIG welding.
| Wire diameter | Wire feed | Current | Voltage | Gas |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mm | m/min | A | V | l/min |
| Short-arc welding | ||||
| 0.8 | 4-8 | 40-120 | 15-19 | 12 |
| 1.0 | 4-8 | 60-140 | 15-21 | 12 |
| Spray-arc welding | ||||

Background current 50 - 150 A
Frequency 80 - 120 Hz
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.
| Wire diameter | Current | Voltage |
|---|---|---|
| mm | A | V |
| 2.0 | 200-350 | 28-32 |
| 2.4 | 250-450 | 28-32 |
| 3.2 | 300-500 | 29-34 |
| 4.0 | 400-600 | 30-35 |
Recommended welding flux is Sandvik 15W.
