The AWS Class ERNiCr-3 welding wire and rod is primarily made up of nickel, chromium, and iron, with nickel typically around 60%, chromium about 22%, and the rest being iron. This unique blend gives it excellent resistance to oxidation and corrosion, even at high temperatures. On the mechanical side, ERNiCr-3 boasts a high tensile strength of around 75 ksi (520 MPa), along with good ductility and impact toughness. It maintains its strength and structural integrity at temperatures reaching up to 1100°C, making it perfect for high-temperature applications. The stable arc and smooth weld bead of this filler metal significantly enhance welding performance in both MIG and TIG processes.
