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 EB9 wire and knowing if the weldment is to be heat treated or as welded condition.

Deposited Chemical Composition % (Typical)
C = 0.09 P = 0.009 Cu = 0.11
Mn = 1.00 Cr = 8.75 V = 0.19
Si = 0.20 Ni = 0.75 Nb = 0.03
S = 0.009 Mo = 0.90 N = 0.04
Al = 0.01

Note: Using Neutral flux

Mechanical Properties (Nominal Values) R.T.
Tensile Strength 100,000 psi
Yield Strength 85,000 psi
Elongation 22%

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.
