430

This is a ferritic stainless steel exhibiting good ductility in the heat-treated condition. Applications include welding similar parent metal, weld overlay, and thermal spraying, with a primary use in surfacing sealing faces of gas, water, and steam valves to achieve stainless and wear-resistant overlays. Welding with this filler metal typically necessitates preheating, normally 150°C, and postweld heat treatment for optimal mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The balanced composition ensures sufficient chromium for corrosion resistance in usual applications while retaining ample ductility in the heat-treated state. Additionally, there are stabilized versions with Niobium and/or Titanium designed for the automotive industry, particularly in exhaust system production, requiring similar preheating and postweld heat treatment.

Ferrite.

Surfacing can be performed on all weldable base materials, unalloyed and low-alloyed. Welding of corrosion resistant chromium steels as well as other similar-alloyed steels with C-contents up to 0.20% (repair welding).
