ALLOY 59 Welding Electrode

Alloy 59 Welding Electrode provides superb corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength, and very low sensitivity to hot cracking.
This electrode is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy with extra low carbon and silicon contents. Due to its chemical composition, Alloy 59 is resistant to attack by chloride ions in low PH media. Welding electrode Alloy 59 is not prone to grain-boundary precipitation during hot forming and welding. It is, therefore, a good choice for welding in the corrosive environment of chemical processing plants.
APPLICATIONS:
This alloy is used to weld low-carbon-nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloys, for welding the clad side of joints in steel clad with low-carbon-nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloys, and for welding low-carbon-nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloys to steel and to other nickel-base alloys, such as alloys C-276, 22, 625 and other high alloys such as 6Mo stainless, 825 and even common grades of stainless steels.
Some typical base metals that this alloy is used on are: ASTM S34565 (4565), NO8926 (22-25-6), S31254 (654SMO, 254SMO) and ASME B and SB 574, 575, 619, 622 and 626.
The electrodes provide excellent operability for groove and fillet welding in the downhand position and the electrodes through 3.2 size diameter are suitable for all position welding.
Power supply: direct current, electrode positive.
