Description

This low temperature application is adopted for high pressure conditions due to the material high strenght. The using a base (example , ER NiCrMo-3) is typical since there is no demand for similar consumables. This material usually requires NO (post welding heat treatment). The application in corrosive environments is under development in 2017.
