Nickel

Exaton Ni59 is a versatile alloy with excellent wet corrosion resistance for the most demanding applications. It combines excellent corrosion resistance in oxidizing and reducing media, has excellent resistance in chloride containing media and to localized corrosion environments. Exaton Ni59 has excellent thermal stability compared to other common nickel alloys and has therefore outstanding resistance to intermetallic precipitation during welding. Applications for Exaton Ni59 are found in aggressive and contaminated corrosive media including scrubbers for flue gas desulfurisation (FGD), chemical process plants and in severe offshore and petrochemical environments. Furthermore, Exaton Ni59 can be used in contaminated mineral acid environments such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid etc. Components in sulfuric acid coolers, digesters and bleachers. Chemical, petrochemical, marine, pharmaceutical, energy production and pollution control. Exaton Ni59 is used for joining matching alloys or dissimilar joining to other nickel alloys such as UNS N10276 (2.4819), type UNS N06022 (2.4602), UNS N06625 (2.4856) and N08825 (2.4858). It provides strong, tough, Nb free weld metal for dissimilar welds in super-austenitic and super-duplex/hyper-duplex stainless steel joints or combinations of these with nickel alloys. Exaton Ni59 is used for joining and overlay welding with MIG/MAG, plasma and hot wire TIG and mechanized TIG. Exaton Ni59 is approved in ISO15156/MR0175 (highest test level VII in sour-gas environments).

A positional rutile wire for the welding of Ni-Cr-Mo-Nb alloys super stainless steels and 9% Ni steels for cryogenic service. It has <1% Fe for higher corrosion resistance. For use with Ar/15-25%CO2 shielding gas.

Exaton 50SW is a basic agglomerated flux with low silicon pickup. It gives good slag removal, good tie-ins and a finely rippled surface. It is suitable for welding with either wire or strip electrodes of nickel alloy type. It is particularly suitable for surfacing with Exaton Ni72HP strip electrodes (EQNiCr-3 type). Typical applications for flux Exaton 50SW are found in nuclear and chemical equipment fields. It is also suitable for dissimilar material welding of nickel alloy grades to stainless steel grades.
