Sandvik 24.29.5.LCu is a strip electrode used to obtain a E385 of corrosion resistant overlay weld deposit in single layer on C-, CMn- and low-alloy steels using electroslag welding (ESW) with the flux Sandvik 47S. There are also other possible combinations and conditions.

Applications
24.29.5.LCu is used for corrosion resistant weld surfacing, in particular where pitting corrosion is involved, of components in the chemical, petrochemical industries often in connection with sea-water cooling. Typical components are pressure vessels, heat exchangers etc.

It is used where fully austenitic overlays are required and where corrosion properties exceeding those of 317L are needed.
