Characteristics and typical fields of application
Avesta 904L is a high-alloy fully austenitic Cr-Ni-Mo-Cu electrode designed for welding
1.4539/ASTM 904L type steels. It can also be used for welding 1.4404/ASTM 316 components
where a ferrite free weld is required, e.g. in cryogenic or non-magnetic applications. The weld metal
has a very good impact toughness at low temperatures. To minimise the risk of hot cracking when
welding fully austenitic steels, heat input and interpass temperature must be low and there must be
as little dilution as possible from the parent metal.
Corrosion resistance:
Very good resistance to general corrosion in non-oxidising environments such as sulphuric acid
and phosphoric acid. Very good resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride containing
solutions. Meets the corrosion test requirements per ASTM G48 Methods A, B and E (40°C).
