Select 85-B2 is intended for single and multiple pass welding of certain chromium-molybdenum steels, plate and pipe requiring 11/4% chrome and 1/2% molybdenum in the weld deposit. The basic slag limits welding to horizontal fillets and the flat position.
Features
Excellent mechanical properties with basic slag.
Better CVN toughness than rutile-slag electrodes.
Low weld metal hydrogen.
Applications
Select 85-B2 is a good choice for welding steels such as ASTM A387 Gr 11 plate and A335 Gr P11 pipe.
These steels are used in high temperature applications requiring creep resistance.
The basic slag imparts better CVN toughness than rutile slag electrodes when welding these steels, which are used in the construction of boilers, heat exchangers and pressure vessels.
Caution
Protect yourself and others - read the safety data sheet prior to using this product.
