Characteristics and typical fields of application
AFM ER80S-D2 contains 0.5% molybdenum for increase strength and high level of deoxidiziers (Mn and Si) to control porosity
when welding with CO2 as the shielding gas. It will give radiographic quality welds with excellent bead appearence in both
ordinary and difficult-to weld carbon and low-alloy steels. AFM ER80S-D2 exhibits excellent out-of-positin welding
characteritics with the short circuiting and pulsed ar processes. The combination of weld soundness and strength makes AFM
ER80S-2 suitable and multiple-pass welding of variety ofcarbon and low-alloy,higher stregth steels in both the as welded and
postweld heat-treated conditions.
