• For Ti- and Nb-stabilized CrNi steels such as 1.4541 / 321 and 1.4546 / 347

Description: 

Böhler FOX SAS 2 is a stabilized, core-wire-alloyed stick electrode with a basic coating. It has been specially developed for Ti- and Nb-stabilized CrNi steels such as 1.4541 / 321 and 1.4546 / 347. This electrode offers excellent welding properties in all positions, good control of the weld pool and slag, as well as easy slag removal. The weld seams are clean, which minimizes rework, and the X-ray-proof weld metal exhibits high toughness properties. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for welding thick cross-sections. Positional weldability is very good, and the electrode maintains its toughness even at very low temperatures down to -196ºC. The maximum operating temperature is 400ºC.

Base materials for Böhler FOX SAS 2

1.4301 X5CrNi18-10, 1.4306 X2CrNi19-11, 1.4311 X2CrNiN18-9, 1.4312 GX10CrNi18-8, 1.4541 X6CrNiTi18-10, 1.4546 X5CrNiNb18-10, 1.4550 X6CrNiNb18-10, 1.4552 GX5CrNiNb19-11 UNS S30400, S30403, S30453, S32100, S34700 AISI 347, 321, 302, 304, 304L, 304LN

Notes:

It is recommended to limit the heat input to a maximum of 1.5 kJ/mm, and the interpass temperature should not exceed 150ºC. Generally, no heat treatment is required. However, BÖHLER FOX SAS 2 can also be used for cladding, where stress-relief annealing at approximately 590ºC is normally necessary. Such heat treatment can reduce ductility at room temperature, and in such cases, BÖHLER FOX E 347 H may be an alternative.
