BLUME® E2209-16 Datasheet

Q: What metals can BLUME® E2209-16 weld?
A: Designed for 2209 duplex stainless steels, suitable for stainless-to-stainless or duplex-to-carbon steel joints.

Q: Can it be used in all welding positions?
A: Yes. Performs reliably in flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions.

Q: How does BLUME® E2209-16 differ from standard electrodes?
A: BLUME® E2209-16 offers low-hydrogen flux, optimized duplex alloy composition, and superior corrosion resistance, producing cleaner, stronger, and longer-lasting welds.

Q: How should it be stored?
A: Store in a dry oven at 250°F (120°C). If moisture exposure occurs, rebake at 650°F (340°C) for 1 hour before use.

Q: Is it suitable for critical or code-compliant projects?
A: Yes. BLUME® E2209-16 meets AWS and ASME standards, ideal for chemical, marine, and industrial duplex stainless steel welding.
