D&H 2594(NS) is a non-synthetic electrode depositing super duplex stainless steel weld metal. The weld metal exhibits high strength, high impact energy, and resistance to stress corrosion cracking, pitting, and crevice corrosion. The weld metal possesses excellent corrosion resistance in marine & paper environments. Examples of application areas are: Oil and gas industry, Off shore plat forms, Petrochemical plants, Mechanical and structural components. It is suitable for welding
1. Ensure the electrodes are dry. Re-dry the electrodes at 250-300°C for one hour.
2. The heat input should be in the range of 0.5-1.5 KJ/mm.
3. Please ensure inter pass temperature is less than 150°C and better less than 102°C.
4. For better results solution annealing at 1080-1120°C is required.
