ERNiMo-7

ERNiMo-7 is a nickel-molybdenum alloy welding wire designed for welding nickel-molybdenum alloys such as Hastelloy® B-2 (UNS N10665) and Hastelloy® B-3 (UNS N10675). This alloy features an exceptionally high molybdenum content, which provides outstanding resistance to severe reducing corrosive environments, particularly hydrochloric acid at all concentrations and temperatures.

ERNiMo-7 is commonly used in chemical processing equipment, petrochemical facilities, pharmaceutical manufacturing, pollution control systems, and acetic/phosphoric acid production plants. The wire delivers stable arc characteristics, low spatter, and smooth metal transfer, enabling fabricators to achieve consistent weld quality on demanding projects.

FAQs

1. What is ERNiMo-7 welding wire used for?

ERNiMo-7 is primarily used for welding nickel-molybdenum alloys such as Hastelloy® B-2 (UNS N10665) and Hastelloy® B-3 (UNS N10675), as well as for cladding steel with nickel-molybdenum weld metal and dissimilar joints.

2. What are the key corrosion resistance properties of ERNiMo-7?

It provides exceptional resistance to uniform corrosion in reducing acid media, particularly hydrochloric acid at all concentrations and temperatures. It also offers excellent resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and natural immunity to chloride stress corrosion cracking.

3. In what environments should ERNiMo-7 NOT be used?

ERNiMo-7 should NOT be used in strong oxidizing environments (such as concentrated nitric acid, or hydrochloric acid containing high-valent iron/copper ions or free chlorine), as oxidizing conditions rapidly disrupt its passive film.

4. Which welding processes are recommended?

TIG (GTAW), MIG (GMAW), and plasma arc welding (PAW) are all suitable. Pure argon is recommended for TIG welding, while argon-helium mixtures are preferred for MIG applications.

5. What is the interpass temperature control requirement?

Interpass temperature should be strictly controlled to below 120°C to prevent weld metal overheating and grain growth
