About Er 630 Filler Wire / 17-4 PH Filler Wire Tig Rod
ER630 (17-4 PH) filler metal is a martensitic precipitation-hardening stainless steel used to weld 17-4 PH, 15-5 PH, and similar alloys. It provides high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and is used in industries like oil & gas, aerospace, and power generation for components requiring high tensile strength and hardness. Key Characteristics and Specifications: AWS Class: ER630 (MIG/TIG) or E630-16 (Coated Electrode). Composition: Contains approximately 17% Chromium, 4% Nickel, and Copper. Hardening: Mechanical properties (high strength/hardness) are heavily influenced by heat treatment, similar to the base metal. Welding Process: Used in both as-welded and post-weld heat-treated conditions.
Engineered for Excellence in WeldingER630 Filler Wire is crafted for elite performance in TIG welding of 17-4 PH and similar stainless steels. Its bright, oil-free surface, uniform diameter, and superior mechanical properties ensure dependable welds. With compliance to international standards and exceptional corrosion resistance, this rod is the preferred choice for demanding environments, especially in marine and chemical industries.
Superior Mechanical Properties Post Heat TreatmentWhen subjected to recommended heat treatment and aging, ER630 Filler Wire achieves up to 105 ksi tensile strength, 90 ksi yield strength, and a hardness of up to 40 HRC. This guarantees high durability and strength in critical applications, ensuring the welded joint performs as effectively as the base material.
FAQ's of Er 630 Filler Wire / 17-4 PH Filler Wire Tig Rod:
Q: What is the recommended shielding gas for ER630 Filler Wire during TIG welding?
A: Argon is the recommended shielding gas when using ER630 Filler Wire for TIG welding to ensure optimal weld quality and to protect the weld area from atmospheric contamination.
Q: How should ER630 Filler Wire be heat treated to achieve maximum strength?
A: To reach maximum strength, the welded joint made with ER630 Filler Wire should be aged at temperatures between 480C and 620C after welding. This heat treatment enhances its mechanical properties significantly.
Q: What applications benefit most from using 17-4 PH Filler Wire?
A: This filler wire is ideal for welding 17-4 PH stainless steel and similar precipitation hardening steels in the marine, chemical processing, petrochemical, and aerospace industries, where both high strength and corrosion resistance are essential.
Q: When is it necessary to use ER630 Filler Wire instead of conventional stainless filler wires?
A: ER630 Filler Wire is chosen over standard stainless filler wires when welding precipitation hardenable stainless steels requiring high mechanical strength, enhanced hardness after heat treatment, and superior corrosion resistance, especially in harsh environments.
Q: How is ER630 Filler Wire supplied and what sizes are available?
A: The wire is provided in straightened rod form with a standard length of 1000 mm. Available diameters include 1.6 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.4 mm, and 3.2 mm. Packaging options include 5 kg or 10 kg tubes.
Q: What are the surface and quality standards of ER630 TIG rods?
A: ER630 TIG rods are finished to a smooth and bright surface that is clean and free from oil or contaminants, meeting stringent international welding standards and ensuring a high-quality weld each time.
