Sandvik 24.13.L is a strip electrode used to obtain a E309L corrosion resistant overlay weld deposit on C-, CMn- and low-alloy steels using submerged-arc welding (SAW) with the flux Sandvik 10SW or electroslag welding (ESW) with the high speed flux Sandvik 49S. It gives a 304/E308/E308L/E309L type of chemical composition when used in single-layer technique or type 304L/E308L type when combined with Sandvik 19.9.L for the second layer.

Sandvik 24.13.L can also be combined with Sandvik 19.9.LNb for the second layer to obtain type 347/E347 or with Sandvik 19.12.3.L to obtain 316L/E316L. There are also other possible combinations and conditions.

Applications
Sandvik 24.13.L is a multi purpose grade for corrosion resistant weld surfacing of components in the chemical, petrochemical, nuclear, marine industries. Typical components are pressure vessels, heat exchangers, shafts, indiustrial piping etc. It is often used as transition layer on which a second layer is welded, using for example Sandvik 19.9.L, 19.9.LNb, 19.12.3.L, 22.8.3.L, for better corrosion resistance.
