Role of Mn and N and Fissuring Behaviour of Ferrite Free 18-8-Mo Stainless Steel Weld Metals

18-8-Mo type of stainless steels have found a wide range of applications in the industry due to their excellent corrosion resistance compatible with techno-economic considerations. They have found particularly wide usage in such important fields as fertilisers, paper, heavy chemicals, drugs and pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and other industries where their corrosion resistance to acids and chemicals has led to longer service life, freedom from contamination in articles of human consumption, and trouble-free operation of plant and equipment.
