Application
This type wire is classified by the chemical composition of deposited weld metal in combination with a specific welding flux using the submerged welding process. The weld metal properties are obtained by the use of a properly selected flux and EB9 wire and knowing if the weldment is to be heat treated or as welded condition.

Deposited Chemical Composition % (Typical)
C = 0.09	P = 0.009	Cu = 0.11
Mn = 1.00	Cr = 8.75	V = 0.19
Si = 0.20	Ni = 0.75	Nb = 0.03
S = 0.009	Mo = 0.90	N = 0.04
Al = 0.01

Note: Using Neutral flux

Mechanical Properties (Nominal Values) R.T.
Tensile Strength	100,000 psi
Yield Strength	85,000 psi
Elongation	22%

Recommended Welding Parameter
Weld parameter dependent upon the wire diameter and welding flux being used.
Note: Both agglomerated and fused fluxes can be used for submerged arc welding.
Note:  The chemical composition of the flux mainly affects the chemistry of the weld metal and consequently its corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.
