ER80S-B8 is a low-alloy, copper-coated steel welding wire/rod (AWS A5.28) containing ~9% Chromium and ~1% Molybdenum, used for welding similar 9Cr-1Mo ferritic steels in high-temperature, high-pressure applications like power generation and petrochemicals for creep resistance. It's an air-hardening alloy, requiring controlled preheat (around 400-500F) and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) for optimal properties, typically used for boilers, piping, and pressure vessels.
