9Cr - 1Mo modified with V, Nb, and N.

CODIFICATION: AWS: SFA 5.5

E 9018 B 9
CHARACTERISTICS:
A low hydrogen electrode yielding 9%Cr - 1%Mo and modified with Niobium, Vanadium and
Nitrogen designed to provide improved creep strength, toughness, fatigue life, oxidation and corrosion
resistance at elevated temperatures. The electrode gives soft and stable arc, which is easy to strike and
restrike.

APPLICATIONS:
Cromotherme-9 (MOD) designed to weld the materials in power plant and refineries etc. Following are
some of the steels that can be welded with Cromotherme-9 (Mod).
I) Plate: A 387 Gr. 91 (II) Pipes: A 335 - P91 (III) Tubes: A 213 - T91

PRECAUTIONS:
 Use short arc and stringer bead.
 Ensure the electrodes are perfectly dry.
 If necessary rebake at 300oC for one hour, as per standard recommended practice.
PREHEAT & POST WELD HEAT TREATMENT:
Normally all the materials welded using this electrode require preheat and PWHT. The relevant codes
of construction may be consulted for the same, since the temperature, periods vary.
