MIDALLOY ERNICRCOMO-1 (FM617) BARE WIRE
CLASSIFICATION
• AWS 5.14 Class ERNiCrCoMo-1 / ASME SFA 5.14 Class ERNiCrCoMo-1
DESCRIPTION
• MIDALLOY ERNiCrCoMo-1 nickel alloy bare wire is used for MGAW, GTAW, and SAW welding.
APPLICATIONS
• MIDALLOY ERNiCrCoMo-1 nickel alloy bare wire is used for welding various nickel-chromium-cobalt-
molybdenum alloys to themselves as well as to other dissimilar alloys such as stainless steel, carbon steel, or
low alloy steel.
• This alloy is sometimes used for overlay when a similar chemistry is required. The weld metal provides
excellent strength and oxidation resistance from 1500° to 2100° F.
