WIRE FOR WELDING AUSTENITIC STAINLESS STEEL

PURPOSE:To improve high-temp. cracking resistance and elongation at creep rupture by incorporating Ni, Cr, Zr, etc., respectively at specific weight % into the titled wire, consisting the balance of Fe and further limiting Nb, Ti, etc., as impurities to prescribed % of below. CONSTITUTION:C is incorporated at 0.04-0.1wt%, Mn at 0.5-5%, Ni at 8-12%, Cr at 18-22%, N at 0.01-0.06%, and Zr at 0.01-0.5% as the component compsn. of the wire into said wire. The balance thereof is composed substantially of Fe and inevitable impurities. The inevitable impurities are so limited that P is incorporated therein at
