▎Classification

AWS A 5.5E9018-B3
JIS Z3223 E6218-2C1M
EN 3580-AE CrMo2 B
GB T 5118E6018-B3

▎Applications and Features

  • KL-918B3 is suitable for welding Cr-Mo alloy steel。
  • It provides high deposition rate and good weldability。
  • Weld metal contains 2.25%Cr-1%Mo,such as ASTM A387Gr.22 and JIS SCMV4. 。
  • It is ideal for welding high pressure steel pipes, heat exchanger steel pipes of boilers and steels for petro-chemical plants。

▎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.
