Elvis Nickel Alloys, located in Houston, USA, stands out as a top supplier of AWS Class ERNiCr-3 Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) Wire and Flux, providing high-performance welding solutions for nickel alloys and dissimilar metal joints. The ERNiCr-3 wire is a solid nickel-chromium alloy crafted specifically for welding Inconel® 600, 601, 625, and similar alloys, as well as for connecting nickel alloys to stainless or carbon steels. This welding wire is perfect for industries like chemical processing, power generation, marine, and aerospace, offering outstanding resistance to oxidation, corrosion, and thermal cracking, which ensures robust and long-lasting welds even in tough conditions.
AWS ERNiCr-3 SAW Wire generally consists of Ni (~67%), Cr (~20–23%), Fe (~3%), along with small amounts of Mn, C, Si, and Cu. This wire boasts impressive mechanical strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures. It achieves a tensile strength of ≥600 MPa and a yield strength of ≥400 MPa, while also providing good impact toughness and resistance to oxidation and scaling. When paired with a compatible flux (like Flux 760 or similar), the SAW process guarantees deep penetration, a smooth bead appearance, and minimal spatter, making it perfect for high-quality, efficient production welding.
