BÖHLER FFB-IG is a TIG rod for welding stainless and acid-resistant steels. Typical work covers tanks, process installations, food and chemical industry equipment and structures in contact with water and steam.
Base materials include 1.4841, 1.4845, X8CrNi25-21, 1.4828, 1.4840, 1.4846 and X40CrNi25-21. The deposit keeps its impact toughness down to cryogenic temperatures, and the rod is used on boilers and pressure vessels under statutory inspection.
- Classification EN ISO: W 25 20 Mn
- AWS classification: ER310 (mod.)
- Diameters: 1.6 / 2.0 / 2.4 mm
Use brushes and discs kept only for stainless steel, carbon steel particles cause rust staining on the bead face. Grind the tungsten tip along its axis and hold a short arc, otherwise the pool spreads. Protect the root when you weld from one side, an oxidised underside spoils the corrosion resistance.
