Sandvik 24.13.LSi (Welding wire)

Datasheet updated 2012-08-02 19:17:43 (supersedes all previous editions)

Sandvik 24.13.LSi is a filler material suitable for joining stainless chromium-nickel steels of the ASTM 309 type, chromium steels and dissimilar metals e.g. austemitic stainless steel to carbon or low-alloyed steel. It is used for MIG/MAG-, TIG- and plasma-arc welding.

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.

Disclaimer: Recommendations are for guidance only, and the suitability of a material for a specific application can be confirmed only when we know the actual service conditions. Continuous development may necessitate changes in technical data without notice. This datasheet is only valid for Sandvik materials.
