A Ni&#x2014;Cr&#x2014;Fe alloy in the form of a weld deposit, a welding electrode and flux and a method of welding utilizing the Ni&#x2014;Cr&#x2014;Fe alloy. The alloy comprises in % by weight: 27-31 Cr, 6-11 Fe, 0.01-0.04 C, 1.5-4 Mn, 1-3 Nb, up to 3 Ta, 1-3 (Nb+Ta), 0.01-0.50 Ti, 0.0003-0.02 Zr, 0.0005-0.004 B, &#x3c;0.50 Si, 0.50 max Al, &#x3c;0.50 Cu, &#x3c;1.0 W, &#x3c;1.0 Mo, &#x3c;0.12 Co, &#x3c;0.015 S, &#x3c;0.015 P, 0.01 max Mg, balance Ni plus incidental additions and impurities. The welding method includes welding using a short arc wherein the distance from the electrode tip to the weld deposit is maintained at less than 0.125 inch.

Coated welding electrode having resistance to ductility dip cracking, and weld deposit produced therefrom

An alloy for use as a welding overlay for boiler tubes in a low NOcoal-fired boiler comprising in % by weight: 36 to 43% Cr, 0.2 to 5.0% Fe, 0-2.0% Nb, 0-1% Mo, 0.3 to 1% Ti, 0.5 to 2% Al, 0.005 to 0.05% C, 0.005 to 0.020% (Mg+Ca), 0-1% Mn, 0-0.5% Si, less than 0.01% S, balance substantially Ni and trace additions and impurities. The alloy provides exceptional coal ash corrosion resistance in low partial pressures of oxygen. The alloy also increases in hardness and in thermal conductivity at service temperature over time. The increased hardness improves erosion resistance of the tubes while the increased thermal conductivity improves the thermal efficiency of the boiler and its power generation capabilities.
