Description:
Cromarod B347 is a niobium stabilised, basic flux coated electrode used
for welding the Nb or Ti stabilised 18% Cr/ 10% Ni austenitic stainless
steel grades 347 and 321. It is also suitable for the unstabilised grades
304 and 304L. Cromarod B347 is primarily intended for use where resistance to intergranular
corrosion is required. For welding the controlled carbon material grades 321H and 347H, used for
structural applications at temperatures above 400 °C, Cromarod 308H is recommended because of
its superior creep strength.
Cromarod B347 has an easy slag removal even in narrow joint preparations, reducing post-weld
cleaning time. The basic coating results in higher resistance to porosity due to improved gas shield,
making the electrode highly suitable for on site welding. Basic coated stainless electrodes produces
weld metal with higher touhgness at lower temperatures compared to rutile coated electrodes due to
less weld metal oxygen. The basic coating results in a lower weld metal Si content making B347 less
sensitive to hot cracking caused by Nb additions, compared to rutile types. Furthermore this permits a
lower weld metal ferrite content compared to rutile types.
