XL-CP-25 OA wire gives a strong tough crack resistant weld metal designed for welding armour plate, dissimilar joints, and buffer layers. However ,because of its high ferrite level (20 FN) and moderate carbon content (0.06%),it is not suitable for cryogenic applications or structural service at temperatures exceeding about 350˚ C.Some loss of ductility will occur if weldments are post weldheat treated. Although corrosion resistance is reasonably good. For SAW use UV-NG flux.
Tanks, military vehicles, general engineering also used as buffer layers which will work harden to reclaim 13% Mn (hadfield Steel) and underneath harfacing consumables.
