Application
ER505 is for welding tube or pipe of similar composition. Preheating and post-weld heat treatments are required.

Deposited Chemical Composition % (Typical)
C = 0.08	Mo = 1.05	P = 0.023
Cr = 9.15	Mn = 0.45	S = 0.022
Ni = 0.40	Si = 0.34	Cu = 0.18

 

Mechanical Properties (R.T.)
Yield Strength	63,500psi
Tensile Strength	79,000psi
Elongation	30%

Deposited All Weld Metal Properties
Data is typical for ER505 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.
