AWS Class ENiCrMo3T1-1/T1-4 Flux Core

AWS 5.34 ENiCrMo3T1-1/T1-4 Flux Cored Wire Supplier in Mumbai, India

Nicorex Alloys is an ISO 9001-certified supplier and stockist of ENiCrMo3T1-1/T1-4 flux-cored wire in Mumbai, India. We offer these flux-cored wires, which are specified by AWS A5.34/ASME SFA 5.34 with UNS W86625.

The ENiCrMo3T1-1/T1-4 has high nickel content, thus offering corrosion and mechanical properties. These wires offer high PREN levels for use in harsh marine and chemical environments. Breaking down the AWS classification, the ‘E’ stands for electrode, ‘NiCrMo3’ refers to the nickel alloy, ‘T’ refers to tubular wire, ‘1’ refers to all positions, and the ending ‘-1’ and ‘-4’ refer to 100% CO₂ and 75-80% Ar/CO₂ shielding gas composition, respectively. These gas-shielded, all-position nickel-chromium-molybdenum tubular electrodes deposit Alloy 625 (NiCrMo-3) chemistry 3 to 5 times faster than GTAW solid wire or SMAW covered electrodes. Nominal weld deposits contain 64.5% Ni, 21.6% Cr, 8.85% Mo, and 3.82% Nb+Ta, with iron content limited to below 1.0%. The 9% Mo concentration increases the PREN value to over 40, thus imparting high resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. Niobium at 3.15–4.15% adds γ(Ni₃Nb) precipitation strengthening and prevents sensitisation, raising the minimum tensile requirement to 690 MPa (100 ksi). These gas-shielded, all-position nickel-chromium-molybdenum tubular electrodes deposit Alloy 625 (NiCrMo-3) chemistry 3 to 5 times faster than GTAW solid wire or SMAW covered electrodes.

Available in 0.045” (1.2 mm) and 1/16” (1.6 mm) diameters on 15 kg spools and drums, ENiCrMo3T1-1/T1-4 serves weld overlay cladding on carbon steel, 9% Ni steel LNG tank fabrication, sour service per NACE MR0175, and dissimilar joints to stainless and super austenitic steels. Every spool ships with an EN 10204 Type 3.1 Mill Test Certificate and ISO 9001 / ISO 14001 certification. Third-party approvals from DNV, Lloyds, ABS, BV, CWB, and TÜV are available on request.

Chemical Composition of AWS Class ENiCrMo3T1-1/T1-4 Weld Deposit (%)

The chemical composition of ENiCrMo3T1-1/T1-4 per AWS A5.34, aligning with Alloy 625 (UNS N06625), is detailed in the table below for PREN >40.
Element Nickel (Ni) Chromium (Cr) Molybdenum (Mo) Niobium (Nb+Ta) Iron (Fe) Manganese (Mn) Carbon (C) Silicon (Si) Titanium (Ti) Sulphur (S) Phosphorus (P) Copper (Cu)
AWS SFA 5.34 Limit ≥58.0 20.0–23.0 8.0–10.0 3.15–4.15 ≤5.0 ≤0.50 ≤0.10 ≤0.50 ≤0.40 ≤0.015 ≤0.02 ≤0.50
Typical (75%Ar/25%CO₂) ~64.5 ~21.6 ~8.85 ~3.82 ~0.60 ~0.35 ~0.02 ~0.25 ~0.20 ~0.002 ~0.01 <0.01
The ~9% Mo is the defining differentiator versus ENiCr3T1-1 (zero Mo). PREN = %Cr + 3.3(%Mo) + 16(%N) exceeds 40, outperforming wrought 316L (PREN ~25) and approaching wrought Alloy 625. With an iron content below 1%, the deposit is suitable for a single-layer corrosion-resistant overlay. Nb+Ta at 3.15-4.15% avoids sensitisation via NbC production and strengthens γ″ precipitation.

Mechanical Properties of ENiCrMo3T1-1/T1-4 Weld Deposit (As-Welded)

Mechanical properties of ENiCrMo3T1-1/T1-4 weld deposit in the as-welded condition, per AWS/ASME SFA 5.34, are listed below.
Typical Mechanical Properties
Property Tensile Strength Yield Strength Elongation (%) CVN at –196°C PWHT
AWS Requirement ≥690 MPa (100 ksi) Not specified ≥25% Not specified Not required
Typical -100% CO₂ 766 MPa (111 ksi) 455 MPa (66 ksi) 26% 66 J (49 ft-lbf)
Typical -75%Ar/25%CO₂ 786 MPa (114 ksi) 483 MPa (70 ksi) 36% 95 J (70 ft-lbf)
The argon-CO₂ mix (T1-4) outperforms pure CO₂ across every metric: 36% vs 26% elongation and 95 J vs 66 J CVN at –196°C. For cryogenic, overlay, and nuclear work, T1-4 is the strongly recommended choice.

Industries & Applications of ENiCrMo3T1-1/T1-4 Flux Core Welding Wire

The following are the industries in which ENiCrMo3T1-1/T1-4 Flux Core Welding Wire is applicable:

Industrial Applications

Storage, Handling & Quality Assurance

Store sealed spools at a temperature of 15–30°C and a relative humidity below 60%, elevated above concrete floors. Utilise clean, dry gloves and examine each spool before usage. Moisture makes nickel alloy FCAW deposits porous; flux-cored wire can’t be reheated. Spools with evident contamination should be discarded.

Quality documentation includes MTC 3.1 per EN 10204, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001 certification. CVN testing at specified cryogenic temperatures is available on request. CWB approval is confirmed for 0.045” diameter with M21 (75%Ar/25%CO₂) gas.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does ENiCrMo3T1-1/T1-4 Differ from ENiCr3T1-1/T1-4 (Alloy 82T-1)?
The critical difference is molybdenum: ENiCrMo3T1-1 deposits ~9% Mo (Alloy 625 chemistry, PREN >40), while ENiCr3T1-1 deposits zero Mo (Alloy 82). Minimum tensile is 690 MPa vs 550 MPa. Use ENiCrMo3T1-1 for Mo-bearing base metals, chloride/acid service, and 9Ni cryogenic. Use ENiCr3T1-1 for NiCrFe alloys (600/601/800) in high-temperature oxidation service.
With 75%Ar/25%CO₂ (T1-4), CVN at –196°C reaches 95 J vs 66 J with 100% CO₂ – a 44% improvement. Elongation jumps from 26% to 36%. The argon-rich mix also produces lower spatter and better bead profile. For cryogenic, overlay, and nuclear applications, T1-4 is strongly recommended.
Yes -this is the primary application. Published research confirms successful three-layer 5 mm Alloy 625 overlay on ASTM A516 Gr.70 using 1.2 mm ENiCrMo3T1-4 with 75%Ar/25%CO₂ at 150°C interpass. Actual Fe in the deposit stays below 1%, maintaining PREN >40 even in the first layer.
Yes. Multiple manufacturers market this wire for LNG service. With T1-4 gas, CVN at –196°C reaches 95 J (70 ft-lbf), exceeding requirements for ASTM A353/A553 9Ni steel joints. Use T1-4, not T1-1, for cryogenic applications.
