ESAB Filler Metals for Welding the ASTM Steels The
following lists the ESAB filler metals which can be used to
weld the following ASTM steels. Those steels which have been discontinued as of
1990 in the ASTM Book
of Standards have been deleted. Properties and chemical deposits
can change depending on your specific welding conditions. No attempt has
been made to recommend
welding procedures since they vary
with the process being used, metal thickness, carbon content, alloy content and
other factors. Preheat temps are suggested
ranges for different types of steels. Check your welding procedure
for a more specific preheat temperature. When more than one filler metal is listed,
consult the
individual product listings in this
booklet and select the one most suitable for your application.
