Elgamatic 183CR (CrMo1) MIG Wire

Elgamatic 183Cr is a 1.25% Cr / 0,5% Mo alloyed wire intended for welding creep resisting steels of similar composition, used in power generation plant operating at temperatures up to 570°C, e.g DIN 13 CrMo 44, GS-17 CrMo 55, BS 3604 Grades 620 and 621 etc. Also suitable for use in the chemical and petrochemical industries where resistance to hydrogen attack, corrosion from sulphur bearing crude oil and stress corrosion cracking in sour environments is required. Preheat and interpass temperature of 150-200°C is recommended. Post-weld heat treat at 690°C.
