BÖHLER CAT 430L CbTi-IG is a high-alloyed ferritic stainless solid wire. Typical work covers tanks, process plant, food and chemical equipment and structures in contact with water and steam.
It joins materials such as 1.4509, 1.4016, X6Cr17, 1.4511, X3CrNb17, UNS S43940 and AISI 430, and the deposit has a ferritic structure.

Keep the interpass temperature low and the beads narrow, overheating austenitic steel promotes carbide precipitation and distortion. Watch the wire stick-out from the contact tip, too long a one lowers the arc voltage and worsens the fusion. Set the gas flow so the pool is covered over the whole length of the bead, and shield the station when you work in wind. Thinner diameters suit root runs and thin sheet, thicker ones the fill passes.
