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 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.

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

Recommended Welding Parameters

Wire Diameter Amps Volts
3/32 250-450 28-32
1/8 300-500 29-34

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.
