Sur face finish for optimum corrosion re sistance: fine groundor po lished

Application

Naval construction, mechanical and plant engineering, dairies, yeast factories, starch and paper mills,compressor construction.

Welding

Welding is possible under certain conditions For joint welding, pre heat parts to a temperatu re of 250 to450C. For building up on heavy wall components, preheat to 100 to 200C. To increase toughness in thedeposit and in the heat af fected zone of the base metal, anneal welded joints at a temperature of 650 to700C or conduct a new heat treatment cycle.
