Application
ER2209 is intended to weld duplex stainless steels. It exhibits high tensile strength and resistance to stress and corrosion cracking. Exhibits a low ferrite.

Deposited Chemical Composition % (Typical)
C = 0.016	Mo = 2.91	P = 0.014
Cr = 22.40	Mn = 1.40	S = 0.017
Ni = 8.5	Si = 0.45	N = 0.18

 

Mechanical Properties (R.T.)
Yield Strength	80,500psi
Tensile Strength	105,000psi
Elongation	26%

Deposited All Weld Metal Properties
Data is typical for ER2209 weld metal deposited by Mig using Argon + 2% oxygen as the shielding gas. Data on sub-arc is not presented, as sub-arc is dependent on the type of flux used.

Recommended Welding Parameters

	1/16	10-16	230-350	27-31	Argon+2% O2	38

Other shielding Gases may be used for Mig welding. Shielding gases are chosen taking Quality, Cost, and Operability into consideration

Recommended Welding Parameters
SAW “Submerged Arc Welding Process”		Reversed Polarity Suggested
Wire Diameter	Amps	Volts
3/32	250-450	28-32
1/8	300-500	29-34
5/32	400-600	30-35
3/16	500-700	30-35

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.
