Arcos Industries LLC of Mt Carmel, Pennsylvania, US, has released new bare wire and covered stainless steel electrodes, Arcos 90S-B9 and Arcos 9015-B9, which are intended for welding key components in the power generation industry. The bare wire (ER90S-B9) Arcos 90S-B9 was developed for welding components which operate at elevated temperatures. This products’ chemistry has been modified to improve long term creep properties, which make it suited for welding parts in power generation facilities as well as coal plants and oil refineries. The covered (E9015-B9) Arcos 9015-B9 electrodes are designed for welding higher chromium alloyed 9CrMoNbV steel. This electrode is utilized for welding heavy wall components such as headers and main steam piping. In addition, Arcos 9015-B9 is used for welding turbine rotors in fossil fueled power plants. Arcos 90S-B9 bare wire electrodes are available in diameters from .035in- 3/16in; the Arcos 9015-B9 covered electrodes in diameters from 3/32in – 3/16in.
