Atom Arc 9015-B9 is designed to weld the modified 9% Cr - 1% Mo steels known by the designations T91, P91 or Grade 91.
Atom Arc 9015-B9 is designed to weld the modified 9% Cr –
1% Mo steels known by the designations T91, P91 or Grade
91. These steels are designed to provide improved creep
strength, fatigue, oxidation, and corrosion resistance at
elevated temperatures.
