Selectarc UP 16/8 2

This high-carbon solid wire is specifically designed for submerged arc welding of high-temperature stainless steels, including 304H, 316H, and 347H. It offers excellent creep resistance, making it suitable for demanding applications requiring high service temperatures up to 650-700°C. The wire’s composition ensures robust welds for petrochemical, incineration, and nuclear plant construction.

This wire is primarily used in the petrochemical and incineration industries, as well as in nuclear plants, for constructing and assembling high-temperature resistant components and structures. It’s particularly well-suited for welding stainless steel grades like 304H, 316H, and 347H where creep resistance is crucial. Welding parameters (current, voltage, speed, and electrode extension) are outlined for optimal performance with common flux types.
