Application
This type wire is classified by the chemical composition of deposited weld metal in combination with a specific welding flux using the submerged welding process. The weld metal properties are obtained by the use of a properly selected flux and EB8 wire and knowing if the weldment is to be heat treated or as welded condition.

| C = 0.08 | S = 0.011 | Mo = 1.00 |
| Mn = 0.55 | P = 0.015 | Cu = 0.18 |
| Si = 0.35 | Cr = 9.50 | |

| Elongation | 18% |
Recommended Welding Parameter
Weld parameter dependent upon the wire diameter and welding flux being used.
Note: 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.
