AWS: A5.4

Conforms to Certification: AWS A5.4   ASME SFA A5.4

Weld Process: Shielded Manual Metal Arc

AWS Chemical Composition Requirements
C = 0.06 max Si = 1.0 max
Cr = 24.0 – 27.0 P = 0.04 max
Ni = 6.5 – 8.5 S = 0.03 max
Mo = 2.9 – 3.9 Mn = 0.5 – 1.5
Cu = 1.5 – 2.5 N = 0.10 – 0.25

Application
E2553-16 is a duplex austenitic-ferritic stainless steel with controlled ferrite. It can be used for joining duplex stainless to carbon or low alloy steel. Weld metal deposits by 2553 electrodes combine increased tensile strength with resistance to pitting and stress corrosive cracking.

Deposited Chemical Composition % (Typical)
C = 0.03 Cr = 25.40 Si = 0.56
Ni = 7.20 Mn = 0.95 P = 0.022
S = 0.022 Mo = 3.10 N = 0.15
Cu = 2.00
