Exaton 22.8.3.L (ESW)

Exaton 22.8.3.L (ESW) is a strip electrode designed for corrosion‑resistant overlay welds on carbon, carbon‑manganese and low‑alloy steels using SAW with 10SW flux or ESW with 47S flux.

Key Features

• Provides a 2209 (SAF™ 2205) overlay deposit for high corrosion resistance.
• Consistent wire chemistry, mechanical properties and dimensional tolerances.
• Innovative chemistry with increased Cr and Mo for superior resistance.
• Moisture‑resistant steel drum packaging (20‑25 kg drums).
• ESW flux offers faster cladding with fewer layers, reducing cost.

Specifications

• Classifications: EN ISO 14343‑A : B 22 9 3 N L; SFA/AWS A5.9 : EQ2209
• Approvals: CE EN 13479; UKCA EN 13479
• Typical Wire Composition (%): C ≤0.020, Mn 1.6, Si 0.5, S ≤0.015, P ≤0.020, Ni 9, Cr 23, Mo 3.1, N 0.15, FN WRC‑92 50

Applications

• Submerged‑arc welding (SAW) of stainless steel in heavy‑duty environments.
• Electroslag welding (ESW) for overlay cladding of carbon and low‑alloy steels.
• Projects requiring high corrosion‑resistant weld deposits, such as chemical processing and marine applications.
