Stainless Gen4 Welding
A popular European grade 307 used for automotive exhaust applications and dissimilar stainless grades.
GEN 308/308H is used for TIG, MIG, and submerged arc welding of unstabilized stainless steels such as Types 301, 302, 304, 305, 308. This filler metal is the most popular grade among stainless steels, used for general-purpose applications where corrosion conditions are moderate. Can also be certified as ER308H.
308 except the carbon content has been held to a maximum of .03% to reduce the possibility of intergranular carbide precipitation. Ideal for welding Types 304L, 321, and 347 stainless steels. This is a suitable wire for applications at cryogenic temperatures.
GEN 308LSi is a stainless steel welding wire for MIG welding. This wire is used to weld equipment made with 304 and 308 stainless grades. Welding speed is higher than 308 or 308L due to improved wettability of weld metal.
GEN 309/309L is of similar composition as GEN 309 except for the carbon content being lower than .03%. The lower carbon content reduces the possibility of intergranular corrosion. GEN 309L is preferred over 309 for cladding over carbon or low alloy steels, as well as for dissimilar joints that undergo heat treatment.
GEN 309LSi is of the same chemical com-position as 309L, with higher silicon content to improve the bead appearance and increase welding ease. The weld beads are exceptionally smooth due to good wetting.
GEN 309LMo is typically used to weld type 316 clad steels on the first pass in cladding steel as well as to weld dissimilar metals such as molybdenum-bearing stainless steels to carbon or low alloy steels.
GEN 310 is used for the welding of stainless steels of similar composition in wrought or cast form. The weld deposit is fully austenitic and calls for low heat during welding. This filler metal can also be used for dissimilar welding
GEN 312 is used to weld cast alloys of similar composition and is used to weld dissimilar metals and weld overlays. This alloy has very high ferrite. When welding similar cast alloys, limit welding to two or three layers only.
GEN 316/316L has the same analysis as ER316, except that the carbon content is limited to a maximum of 0.03% in order to reduce the possibility of formation of intergranular carbide precipitation. This filler metal is primarily used for welding low carbon molybdenum-bearing austenitic alloys. This low carbon alloy is not as strong at elevated temperatures as ER316H.
GEN 316LSi is similar to 316L, with higher silicon content for optimum ease in welding and smooth bead appearance. Higher productivity could be realized in MIG welding.
GEN 317L is used for welding stainless steels with similar composition. Due to its higher molybdenum content, this alloy offers high resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. Lower carbon makes the weld metal less susceptible to intergranular corrosion.
GEN 320LR has a composition similar to GEN 320, except that carbon, silicon, phosphorus, and sulfur levels are kept at lower levels as well as the columbium and manganese being specified at a narrower range. The low melting residuals are limited in this alloy to reduce the possibility of microfissuring. It is for this reason that this alloy is often used for welding Type 320 stainless steels.
GEN 330 is used to weld cast and wrought material of similar chemical composition. The weld metal provides excellent heat and scale resistance up to 1800°F. However, high sulfur environments may adversely affect elevated temperature performance. This being a fully austenitic alloy, heat input is necessary.
GEN 347 is a columbium-stabilized stainless steel welding wire used to weld Types 321 and 347. Addition of columbium reduces the possibility of chromium carbide precipitation and consequent intergranular corrosion.
GEN 385 is used for welding materials of similar chemical composition which are used for fabrication of equipment and vessels for handling of sulfuric acid and many chloride containing media. This filler metal may also find applications for joining Type 317L material where improved corrosion resistance in specific media is needed. In order to reduce the propensity for fissuring and hot cracking, the low melting con-stituents such as carbon, silicon and phosphorus are controlled to lower levels in this alloy.
GEN 409Nb is a ferritic stainless steel welding wire which is used to weld type 409 and 409Ti base materials. Addition of columbium leads to a preferential reaction with carbon, saving chromium from forming carbides. This improves corrosion resistance, increases strength at high temperatures, and promotes ferritic micro-structure.
GEN 410 is used to weld Types 403, 405, 410, and 416. It is also used for welding overlay on carbon steels to resist corrosion, erosion, or abrasion. This material, being an air hardening type, calls for preheating of the joint to 350°F before welding.
GEN 410NiMo is used primarily to weld cast and wrought material of similar chemical composi-tion. Preheating and interpass temperature of not less than 300°F are required.
GEN 420 has a higher carbon content than GEN 410. This alloy is often used for surfacing applications which call for superior resistance to abrasion. It requires preheat and interpass temper-atures of not less than 400°F, followed by slow cooling. Post weld heat treatment is used to temper the weld deposit.
GEN 430 is a ferritic stainless steel which offers good ductility in heat treated condition. In addition to the applications of welding similar alloys, it is also used for overlays and thermal spraying.
GEN 430NLb is stabilized ferritic steel, which offers superior mechanical properties to 430 grade. In addition, its fatigue resistance is also higher, the fact that lead to its spontaneous popularity in the automotive industry. This product is also used for overlay cladding as well as in thermal spray applications. Preheating of the joint to a minimum of 300°F is recommended. Welding must be done with very low heat input.
GEN 604 is mainly used for GMAW and GTAW of base metals with similar chemical composition. It can also be used to join dissimilar metal combinations such as stainless steel, carbon steel and nickel base alloys.
GEN 630 is a precipitation hardening stainless steel used for welding of materials of similar chemical composition. Mechanical properties of this alloy are greatly influenced by the heat treatment.
GEN 2209 is a filler material designed to weld duplex stainless steels such as UNS Number N31803. The welds are characterized by high tensile strength and improved resistance to stress corrosion cracking and pitting. The wire is lower in ferrite compared to that of base metal in order to obtain improved weldability.
GEN 2594 provides matching chemistry and mechanical property characteristics to wrought superduplex alloys such as 2507 and Zeron 100, as well as to superduplex casting alloys (ASTM A890). The welding wire is overalloyed 2-3 percent in Nickel to provide the optimum ferrite/austenite ratio in the finished weld. This structure results in high tensile/yield strength and superior resistance to SCC and pitting corrosion.
