Application
ER320LR has a composition similar to ER320, except that carbon, silicon, phosphorus, and sulfur levels are kept at a lower level. The low melting residuals are limited in this alloy to reduce micro fissuring. This alloy is often used for welding type ER320 stainless steels.

Deposited Chemical Composition % (Typical)
C = 0.015 Mo = 2.50 P  = 0.007
Cr = 19.60 Mn = 1.60 S = 0.007
Ni = 34.10 Si = 0.05 Cu = 3.40
Nb = 0.25

 

Mechanical Properties (R.T.) 
Yield Strength 86,000psi
Tensile Strength 57,500psi
Elongation 35%

Deposited All Weld Metal Properties
Data is typical for ER320LR weld metal deposited by Tig using 100% Argon as the shielding gas.

Recommended Welding Parameters
GTAW “Tig Process”
Wire Diameter Amps DCSP Volts Shielding Gas
.035 60-90 12-15 Argon 100%
.045 80-110 13-16 Argon 100%
1/16 90-130 14-16 Argon 100%
3/32 120-175 15-20 Argon 100%

Note: Parameters for tig welding are dependent upon plate thickness and welding position.
Other shielding Gases may be used for Tig welding. Shielding gases are chosen taking Quality, Cost, and Operability into consideration.
