FW 430
AWS: SFA 5.9 ER430
EN ISO CODE:
FW 430 is a solid wire for TIG process available in bright finish, gives smooth flow, stable arc and spatter free under optimum welding conditions. It gives radiographic quality weld deposit. Weld metal possesses excellent resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and impact. It is designed for joining of similar alloys and for surfacing and overlay application on unalloyed steels. Ideally suited for surfacing of valves impellers, turbine, blades etc.
