Welding wire Böhler Union X 96

Welding wire Union X 96 BS300 18 kg spool

Low-alloyed, copper-coated welding wire Böhler Union X 96 for gas-shielded arc welding of quenched and tempered and thermomechanically rolled
fine-grained structural steels in crane and vehicle construction.
Good deformation behavior at maximum strength values. Good resistance to cold cracking.

Standards

• EN ISO 16834-A: G 89 5 M21 Mn4Ni2,5CrMo

• AWS A5.28 / SFA-5.28: ER120S-G

Properties

• High strength with simultaneously good deformation behavior

• Very good resistance to cold cracking

• Clean, stable arc guidance

• Suitable for highly stressed welded structures

• DC+ weldable

In the as-welded condition (shielding gas M21), the weld metal achieves typical values of:

• Yield strength Rp0,2: approx. 930 MPa

• Tensile strength Rm: approx. 980 MPa

• Elongation A5: approx. 14 %

• Notch impact toughness (ISO-V):

  • approx. 80 J at +20 °C

  • approx. 47 J at –50 °C

This makes Union X 96 optimally suited for components subject to high dynamic and static loads.
