AWS: SFA 5.9 ER385
EN ISO CODE: 14343-A W 20 25 5 Cu L
FW 385 is a solid wire for TIG welding, available in bright finish, gives smooth flow, stable arc and spatter free under optimum welding conditions. It gives radiographic quality weld deposit. Wire contains low carbon 20Cr - 25Ni - 5 Mo - 2Cu which exhibits excellent resistance to corrosion in non oxidizing media like sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, formic acid, fatty acids, oxalic acid etc. It is ideally suited for welding materials for application where phosphoric, sulfuric acids, and other non-oxidizing solutions are encountered. The addition of Mo and Cu helps in resisting corrosive attack of these solutions. It is particularly suited for welding Carpenter 20, HV9, HV9A, Uranus B6, UHB 904L, Sandvik 2RK65, and similar materials which are used for these service conditions.
