Application
ER330 is used to weld cast and wrought material of similar chemical composition. The weld metal provides excellent heat and scale resistance up to 1800ºF. However, high sulfur environments may adversely affect elevated temperature performance. This being a fully austenitic alloy, low heat input is necessary.

Deposited All Weld Metal Properties
Data is typical for ER330 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.

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.
