Sandvik SX PDF

Sandvik SX is a welding wire for joining Sandvik SX steel used in concentrated sulfuric acid. It has an austenitic matrix structure with approximately 16% ferrite and excellent corrosion resistance in sulfuric acid environments. The welding wire has a chemical composition and mechanical properties similar to the parent material and can be used for MIG, TIG, and PAW welding of Sandvik SX steel with a maximum heat input of 1.0 kJ/mm and interpass temperature below 140°F.

Sandvik SX
(Welding wire)
Sandvik SX is a filler wire for joining Sandvik SX steel (UNS S32615, ASME Code Case
2029­3) used in concentrated sulphuric acid. Sandvik SX wire can be used for MIG­,
TIG­ and PAW welding.

MICROSTRUCTURE (ALL-WELD METAL)

Austenitic matrix with a ferrite content of about 16FN according to DeLong.

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES (ALL-WELD METAL)

Temperature °C 20

Yield strength, Rp 0 . 2 MPa 327

Tensile strength, Rm MPa 668

Elongation, A % 55

CORROSION RESISTANCE (ALL-WELD METAL)

Sandvik SX has excellent corrosion resistance in concentrated sulphuric acid, both in
static and dynamic conditions. The corrosion resistance is close to that of the parent
material.

RECOMMENDED WELDING DATA

Always weld with as low heat input as possible (max 1,0 kJ/mm). Keep interpass
temperature below 60 °C (140 °F). Clean joints before welding and use pickling paste
for post weld cleaning.

MIG WELDING

No weaving except for vertical up position. Recommended shielding gas: pure Argon or
Argon/Helium mixture (20­30% He).

TIG WELDING

Always weld Sandvik SX tube and plate with filler metal. Recommended shielding gas:
pure Argon or Argon/Helium mixture (20­30% He).

DISCLAIMER:
Recommendations are for guidance only, and the suitability of a material for a specific application can be confirmed only when
we know the actual service conditions. Continuous development may necessitate changes in technical data without notice. This
datasheet is only valid for Sandvik materials.
