This gas-shielded, flux cored, nickel-based electrode, which welds in all positions, has a nominal weld composition of 19% chromium, 3% manganese, 2.5% niobium with a nickel balance. SelectAlloy 82-AP is used for welding alloys 600, 601 and 800 to themselves, to the clad side of joints in steel clad with nickel-chromium-iron alloys and for the dissimilar welding of nickel-based alloys. It is also used for joining carbon steels to nickel alloys and for the surfacing of carbon steels.
Features
Significantly higher out-of-position rates than solid wires or covered electrodes.
Superb all position performance characteristics.
Flat, well washed beads achieved with minimal weaving.
Slag peeling is excellent.
Very low spatter.
Applications
Due to its excellent resistance to pitting and stress corrosion cracking in chloride contaminated environments, SelectAlloy 82-AP is ideal for welding in desalination plants.
This electrode is also well suited for welding applications that span a wide range of temperatures, from cryogenic to elevated, such as piping, furnace equipment, petrochemical facilities and power generation plants.
Caution
Protect yourself and others read the safety data sheet prior to using this product.
