AA 2101 has excelent welding properties and was developed especially for the steel grade 1.4162/UNS S 32101. Due to the higher Mn and N – content of the Lean duplex base material, the slag viscosity and therefore the flow behaviour is changing and the welding bead is liquid for a longer time. The result is a very smooth seam.
Lean duplex stainless steel EN 1.4162 / ASTM 32101 grade such as LDX2101® (Avesta)
