BÖHLER CAT 430L CbTi-IG is a high alloyed special TIG rod for stainless and acid-resistant steels. It goes into tanks, process pipelines and equipment for the chemical and food industries.
Base materials are 1.4509, 1.4016, X6Cr17, 1.4511, X3CrNb17, AISI 430 and AISI 441. TIG gives you full control over the heat input and a clean, smooth weld.
- Classification EN ISO: 14343-A W Z 18 Nb Ti L

- Shielding gas: I1
- Diameters: 1.6 / 2.4 mm
- Approvals: DB (43.132.57), CE
Keep the heat input down and do not hold the joint hot longer than you need to, the structure expands and pulls out of shape. Protect the root when you weld from one side, an oxidised underside spoils the corrosion resistance. Keep the rod inside the gas shield even after you lift it from the pool, a cold oxidised end will contaminate the next drop. Match the diameter to the plate thickness and the welding position, thinner rods are easier to control out of position.
