AWS Chemical Composition Requirements
C = 0.10 max Mn = 0.30 – 0.65
Si = 0.05 – 0.50 S = 0.025 max
p = 0.025 max Cr = 8.00 – 10.50
Mo = 0.80 – 1.20 Cu = 0.35 max

3/32 x 60c
1/8 x 60c

Application
This type wire is classified by the chemical composition of deposited weld metal in combination with a specific welding flux using the submerged welding process. The weld metal properties are obtained by the use of a properly selected flux and EB8 wire and knowing if the weldment is to be heat treated or as welded condition.

Deposited Chemical Composition % (Typical)
C = 0.08 S = 0.011 Mo = 1.00
Mn = 0.55 P = 0.015 Cu = 0.18
Si = 0.35 Cr = 9.50

Note: Using Neutral flux

Mechanical Properties (Nominal Values) R.T.
Tensile Strength 74,000psi
Yield Strength
Elongation 18%

Recommended Welding Parameter
Weld parameter dependent upon the wire diameter and welding flux being used.
Note:  Both agglomerated and fused fluxes can be used for submerged arc welding.
Note:  The chemical composition of the flux mainly affects the chemistry of the weld metal and consequently its corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.
