Select 80C-B2

Low Alloy / Metal Cored / Gas Shielded

Resources

Features

  • Select 80C-B2 is intended for single and multiple pass welding of certain chrome-moly steels.
  • Intended to weld materials such as ASTM A335-11 pipe and A387 Grade 11 plate. These materials are air hardening in nature, therefore both preheat and postweld heat treatments are necessary.
  • When properly applied, the weld metal should deliver the same creep resistance and high temperature properties of the base metals.
