Stick Electrodes Böhler FOX SAS 2-A

Böhler FOX SAS 2-A Stick Electrodes

• Rutile coated stick electrode
• Excellent welding properties with DC and AC
• Self-releasing slag
• Clean seam and low post-processing
• for Ti- and Nb-stabilized CrNi steels such as 1.4541 / 321 and 1.4546 / 347

Description: 

The Böhler FOX SAS 2-A is a stabilized, core wire alloyed, austenitic stick electrode with a rutile coating. It was specially developed for Ti- and Nb-stabilized CrNi steels such as 1.4541 / 321 and 1.4546 / 347. This electrode is characterized by particularly good welding properties with both direct current and alternating current. It offers high hot cracking resistance of the weld metal and produces clean seams. The slag is self-releasing, which minimizes post-processing. The corrosion resistance corresponds to that of 316Ti alloys, and the electrode shows good resistance to pitting corrosion. The maximum operating temperature is 400ºC.

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. As a rule, no heat treatment is required. However, the BÖHLER FOX SAS 2-A can be used for claddings where stress relieving at around 590ºC is normally necessary. Such heat treatment can reduce ductility at room temperature. In these cases, the BÖHLER FOX E 347 H can be an alternative. If necessary, re-drying can be carried out at 250-300ºC for at least 2 hours.
