Weston Stainless, from Midland, UK, is a reputable distributor of stainless steel products of high quality, with a focus on precision-engineered materials for manufacturing and industrial use. Among these products, AWS Class ER385 MIG and TIG filler rod and welding wire are formulated for better corrosion resistance, especially against acidic conditions. This austenitic stainless steel filler material is offered in a number of different diameters and in both rod and wire forms to accommodate different welding requirements. Its chromium-rich, nickel-rich, and molybdenum-rich composition provides outstanding performance in demanding applications with high strength and endurance requirements.
AWS Class ER385 MIG and TIG filler welding wire and rod are made of 20% chromium, 25% nickel, 4.5% molybdenum, and low carbon, with high intergranular corrosion resistance. Its mechanical properties are a tensile strength of about 550 MPa, yield strength of around 250 MPa, and an elongation of 35%. The physical characteristics are a density of 8.0 g/cm³, a melting range of 1375-1420°C, and good oxidation resistance, which makes it suitable for harsh environments. The properties guarantee performance in high-stress and corrosive conditions.
