A Brief Introduction To Laser Welding


Features and Applications
Austenitic stainless steel wire most often used to weld base metals of similar composition.
Excellent resistance to oxidation, especially at high working temperatures (lower than 1000°C) due to its high Cr content.
Fully austenitic and therefore sensitive to hot cracking.
Ideal for welding and overlay of stainless steels of similar chemical composition including dissimilar welding.
Precision layer wound for superior wire feeding characteristics.
Typically used on industrial furnaces, annealing chambers, fused salt treatment installations and boiler parts, as well as heat exchangers etc.

Typical Base Materials
300 series austenitic stainless steel for welding (e.g. AISI 310, 304); mild and carbon steels for overlay works*
