Bare, corrosion-resistant, chromium-nickel rods for welding austenitic chromium nickel alloys of the 18% Cr-8% Ni type. OK Tigrod 347Si has good general corrosion resistance. The alloy is stabilised with niobium to improve resistance to the intergranular corrosion of the weld metal. The higher silicon content improves the welding properties such as wetting. Due to the niobium content, this alloy is recommended for use at higher temperatures.
