AWS A5.28: ER80SNi1
Elgamatic 162 is a copper-coated wire depositing a nominal 0.9% Ni weld metal. It has a guaranteed Ni content of 1% maximum, ensuring conformance to NACE requirements for oil and gas production equipment in sour service. The wire is primarily intended for GMAW but is equally suitable for use in mechanized GTAW ( e.g., orbital TIG process).
Elgamatic 162 gives very good fracture toughness at temperatures down to –60°C and is intended for offshore pipework and similar high-integrity applications.
