AWS ER100S-1 or ER69S-1 (K10882) Weld Metal
AWS ER100S-1 is a weld metal formulated for joining alloy steels. Cited properties are appropriate for the as-welded condition. ER100S-1 is the AWS designation for this material. K10882 is the UNS number.
It has a moderately low ductility among alloy steel welding fillers. In addition, it has a moderately high tensile strength and a moderately high thermal conductivity.
The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare AWS ER100S-1 to: alloy steel welding fillers (top), all iron alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
