Stainless Steel Electrode
ER409Nb is a ferritic stainless steel welding alloy used to weld types 409 and 409Ti base metals. The addition of columbium leads to a preferential reaction with carbon which interrupts chromium from forming carbides. This improves corrosion resistance, increases strength at high temperatures, and promotes ferritic microstructure.
