JIS Z 3224 DNiCrFe-3

Characteristics and Application

AWS A5.11 ENiCrMo-6 Welding rod, welding electrode is designed for AC and DC welding with chemical composition of 65Ni, 14.5Cr, 7Fe, 7Mo, 3Mn, 1.5W, 1.5Nb. It is suitable for all-position welding with excellent weldability for electrodes 3.2mm and less in size and for 5%Ni & 9%Ni steel joining of storage tank application of LNG or liquefied Nitrogen, stabilized, non-stabilized Austenitic (Cr Ni) steels and cryogenic Ni steel with quenching and tempering. Proper base metals are including ASTM B333/334/353/522/553.

Notes on usage:

1. Be sure to clean up the contaminations on the base metal, groove and pass to pass with stainless steel brush.
2. Dry the electrodes at 350-400℃ for 60 minutes before using. Take out a batch of half day consumption and keep at 100-150℃ during welding process.
3. Use back-step method to prevent arc starting from blowholes and hold for 3-5 seconds at every end—up.
4. Maintain short arc length to prevent porosity problem.
5. Do not exceed the range of recommended current. Over heat input might decrease the impact value.

6. Crater should be ground smoothly or by crater treatment.
