Choosing Welding Consumables
The tables are guides for choosing the correct welding consumable when welding similar or dissimilar materials. If the materials you need to join are not on the list, please contact us.
Joining Similar Materials
The table gives typical selections of welding consumables and basic designations for wire electrodes and filler wire/rods. It does not indicate the silicon-alloyed variants used for MIG welding or the variants of covered electrodes or wire-flux combinations for submerged arc welding.

if any, can be either Ti or Nb.
3) "xxx" = constructed classification, denotes the type.
4) Sandvik 25.10.4.L can also be used for the welding of other similar super-duplex steels as well as for a group of 25% Cr duplex steels with PRE values between 37 and 40 (UNS S31803 has PRE 35 and UNS S32750 PRE >41).
