LOW-HEAT INPUT WELDING ALLOYS

LH 1080
ALLOY BASIS PROPERTIES

Electrode for austenitic manganese steels

Fe, Cr, Ni, Mn

Specially formulated low-heat input austenitic stainless-steel electrode. Has excellent heat resistance up to 900 0C and is resistant to corrosion by atmosphere, sea water, weak acids, etc.

TECHNICAL DATA
UTS : 59-64 kgf/mm2 Elongation (L=4d) : 30-40%

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
For joining Austenitic Manganese Steels (14% Mn) Ideal for joining Austenitic Manganese Steels to Mild Steels, Difficult Steels, High alloy Steels, etc. Ideal for providing "Elastic Interlayer" - (cushioning layer) before hardsurfacing. Surfacing manganese steel rails. Repairing cracks in austenitic manganese steel castings in mining industry.

PROCEDURE
Use short arc and adjust low amperage, especially for high Manganese Steel. Peen and deslag each pass. Hadfield steels to be immersed in water during welding to overcome hot shortness. Maintain temperature below 150 0C on the job.

WELDING CURRENT
Current : AC / DC (+) Size ( mm)/Length : 2.5x350 3.2x350 Current (amps) : 50-70 80-110 4.0x350 110-140
