▎Applications and Features

  • KL-916B3 is suitable for welding Cr-Mo alloy steel.
  • Weld metal contains 2.25%Cr-1%Mo.
  • It provides great creep resistance at 550°C.
  • It is ideal for welding high pressure steel pipes and heat exchanger steel pipes, such as ASTM A387 Gr.22 and JIS SCMV4.

▎Welding Instruction

  1. Clean up the contaminations on the steel.
  2. Dry the electrodes at 350~400°C for 60 minutes before welding.
  3. Keep arc as short as possible. Take the back step method to prevent porosity at arc start and re-start. (Please refer to Appendix A)
  4. Preheat and interpass temperature: 160~190°C, PWHT: 675~705°C

▎Application
