SAF Alin 625 description: Basic coated MMA electrode for welding highly corrosion-resistant Cr-Mo-Nickel base alloys, such as 625, 825 and similar alloys. Also suitable for molybdenum alloyed corrosion-resistant steels, e.g. 7%Mo, such as X1NiCrMoCuN25-20-7 and cryogenic toughness nickel steels. Very resistant to stress corrosion cracking and pitting corrosion. Cryogenic toughness down to -196C. In sulphur-free atmospheres, non-scaling < 1200C and in sulphurous atmospheres the weld metal can be used for operating temperatures < 500C. Even at higher temperatures there is only limited carbon diffusion in the weld metal thus avoiding crack-prone carbides at the weld interface of dissimilar joints. The coefficient of thermal expansion is between austenitic and ferritic steels, therefore ALIN 625 is also suited for joining ferritic to austenitic steels, dissimilar joints, at operating temperatures or postweld heat treatment 300C.
