Product Catalog
Executive 80S-B6 is designed to weld 5Cr – ½ Mo type steels using MIG or TIG welding processes where high temperature service and creep resistance is important. The alloy content of the wire produces weld metal that matches the base material and maintains mechanical properties after post-weld heat treat. Executive 80S-B6 filler metal is produced using high quality raw materials and tightly controlled chemistry to provide top quality, exceptionally clean wires that deliver smooth feedability and the results fabricators demand.
Application and Features
Executive 80S-B6 is used to weld 5Cr – ½ Mo type steels incorporated in heat exchangers, boilers, piping and pressure vessels for service temperature up to 600°C. Typical material grades include ASTM A387-Gr 5, A335-Gr 5 and A182-F5/5A.
This wire is also suitable for laser welding and WAAM applications (Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing, aka Metal 3D printing).
