ER 80SD2

About ER 80SD2

• Type: Solid, copper-coated low-alloy steel wire (AWS A5.28, EN ISO 14341).
• Alloying Elements: Contains ~0.5% Molybdenum (Mo) for strength and Manganese (Mn) & Silicon (Si) as deoxidizers.
• Weld Properties: Deposits welds with high tensile strength (around 550-600 MPa yield), good impact strength (even at low temps like -30C), and excellent creep resistance up to 500C.
• Performance: Provides a stable arc, smooth operation, low spatter, and radiographic quality welds.
• Applications: Ideal for high-strength steels (up to 550 MPa yield), pressure vessels, penstock pipes, heavy machinery, shipbuilding, and general construction.
• Welding: Used for single/multi-pass, out-of-position welding; often requires pre-heat (around 135-165C) and specific shielding gases (Argon mixes or 100% Argon). 

• Carbon (C): 0.07-0.12%
• Manganese (Mn): 1.60-2.10%
• Silicon (Si): 0.50-0.80%
• Molybdenum (Mo): 0.40-0.60%
• Sulfur (S):  0.025%
• Phosphorus (P):  0.025% 

• Ultimate Tensile Strength: ~640-680 MPa (93-99 ksi)
• Yield Strength (0.2% Offset): ~560 MPa (81 ksi)
• Elongation (L=5d): ~22%
• Impact Strength (CVN @ -30C): ~55 Joules (or 30 ftlbs)
