Deposited All Weld Metal Properties
Data is typical for ER505 weld metal deposited by Mig using Argon + 2% oxygen as the shielding gas. Data on sub-arc is dependent on the type of flux used.

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.
