Rutile duplex stainless steel flux-cored wire of T 22 9 3 N L P / E2209T1 type for welding of 22Cr steel grades such as 1.4462 / UNS S31803, S32205 and similar. It can also be used for dissimilar joints and weld cladding. Designed to fulfil the high demands set in offshore, shipyards, chemical tankers, chemical/petro-chemical, pulp & paper, etc. Very good resistance to pitting, intergranular corrosion and stress corrosion cracking in chloride containing environments i.e. seawater. Meets the corrosion test requirements per ASTM G48 Methods A, B and E (25º C).It is designed for all-round welding and can be used in all positions without changing the parameter settings. The weldability is excellent in the vertical-up and overhead welding positions. The wide arc ensures even penetration and sidewall fusion to prevent lack of fusion. Suitable for service temperatures from –46º C to 250º C. Over-alloyed in nickel to promote austenite formation. Ferrite measured with Fischer Feritescope 35 – 45 FN. For fl at and horizontal welding positions (1G, 1F and 2F), FOXcore 2209-T0 may be preferred.
