Exaton 385
385 welding wire is suitable for joining steels of the 20Cr/25Ni/4.5Mo/1.5Cu type - for example 904L (e.g. 2RK65) used in many areas of the process industry, such as in the production of acetic acid, sulfuric acid, terephthalic or tartaric acid and vinyl chloride. It is also suitable for use in cooling operations involving sea water or heavily polluted river water. It is used for TIG-welding.
