Flux-cored wire made with an alloyed stainless steel sheath and rutile flux system. Supercore Z100XP combines easy operability, and high deposit quality for both positional pipework and downhand welding. Metal recovery is about 90% with respect to the wire.
Applications
Zeron® 100 has an exceptional combination of strength and resistance to corrosion and erosion in a wide range of aggressive media. The presence of Cu+W provides superior resistance to sulphuric and hydrochloric acids when compared to similar alloys without these additions. Offshore applications exploit the high resistance to pitting and stress-corrosion cracking in seawater. It is also highly resistant to caustic alkalis and phosphoric acid. Service temperature range is usually limited to –50°C to 280°C, the upper limit owing to thermal instability ("450°C" and sigma embrittlement). It is widely used in oil and gas production and process pipework, risers, manifolds, pressure vessels, valves, pumps, desalination plants, systems for flue-gas desulphurisation (FGD) and also in the mining, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Zeron® 100 wires are also used for joining super-martensitic stainless steels.
