Sandvik 22.9.3.LB
(Covered electrodes)
Sandvik 22.9.3.LB is a covered electrode with basic coating for welding of duplex
(ferritic­austenitic) stainless steels of UNS S31803/S32205 type (e.g. Sandvik SAF 2205).
This basic type of electrode is characterized by very good welding properties in all
positions for welding stainless ferritic­austenitic (duplex) steels. It is particularly suitable
in applications where the requirements on the mechanical properties are high. Sandvik

22.9.3.LB is suitable for service temperatures up to 280 C (535 F). It gives little spatter
and very good slag removal.
Sandvik 22.9.3.LB is particularly suited for welding in tubes and when good impact
properties at low temperatures are requested.
