Aditya Stainless is a trusted manufacturer and supplier based in Kolkata, India, specializing in high-quality AWS Class ER385 MIG and TIG Filler Welding Wire and Rod, also known as Alloy 904L. This product is perfect for welding high-alloy, corrosion-resistant stainless steels. Designed to join both wrought and cast forms of 904L stainless steel, ER385 boasts impressive resistance to strong reducing acids like sulfuric and phosphoric acids, along with a high tolerance for pitting and stress corrosion cracking. Its low carbon content helps prevent intergranular corrosion, making it ideal for chemical processing, pollution control, and marine applications. With ER385, you can expect robust, corrosion-resistant welds that stand the test of time in tough environments.
ER385 filler metal generally consists of 19–23% chromium, 24–26% nickel, 4–5% molybdenum, 1–2% copper, and a maximum of 0.02–0.03% carbon. This distinctive composition ensures excellent resistance to a variety of corrosive substances. In terms of mechanical properties, it offers a tensile strength of at least 80,000 psi (550 MPa), a yield strength of at least 35,000 psi (240 MPa), and an elongation of around 35%. The low carbon content helps avoid carbide precipitation, while the high levels of nickel and molybdenum enhance resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in chloride and acidic conditions. ER385 is dependable for both MIG and TIG welding tasks.
