Select 430LCb-Mod

Stainless Steel / Metal Cored / Gas Shielded

Resources

Features

  • The addition of columbium (Cb), also known as niobium (Nb), is used to prevent weld metal sensitization.
  • Increased Nb content promotes an increased resistance to sensitization.
  • Enhanced weldability on components with excessive surface contaminants/lubes.
  • Superior arc stability over entry level Nb stabilized wires.
  • Metal cored construction provides better welding performance compared to solid wires.
  • Designed to weld exhaust system components of similar composition, ~18 wt% chromium (Cr), with increased oxidation resistance at high operating temperatures.
