Executive 2209P is an all position flux cored wire developed for welding 2205 duplex stainless steels as well as leaner grades of duplex stainless steel. Executive wire provides superior weldability, low spatter and smooth beads with easy slag removal. Designed for high deposition welding of multi-layer standing fillet welds. Filler metal of this classification is used primarily to weld duplex stainless steels which contain approximately 22% chromium such as UNS S31803 and S32205. Deposits of this alloy have "duplex" microstructures consisting of an austenite-ferrite matrix. 

These stainless steels are characterized by high tensile strength, resistance to stress corrosion cracking, and improved resistance to pitting. If post weld annealing is required, this weld metal will require a higher annealing temperature than that required by the duplex base metal.
