Chemical Composition (Typical Values):

• Carbon (C): ≤ 0.04% – Low carbon for corrosion resistance
• Chromium (Cr): 17.0–20.0% – Provides oxidation and corrosion resistance
• Nickel (Ni): 11.0–14.0% – Enhances ductility and toughness
• Molybdenum (Mo): 2.0–3.0% – Improves resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion
• Manganese (Mn): 0.5–2.5% – Supports weld strength and arc stability
• Silicon (Si): ≤ 1.0% – Aids slag formation and weld pool control
• Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.04% – Controlled to prevent embrittlement
• Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.03% – Controlled to prevent hot cracking
• Copper (Cu): ≤ 0.75% – May improve corrosion resistance
• Iron (Fe): Balance – Forms the matrix of the weld deposit
