AWS ER80S-Ni1 or ER55S-Ni1 (K11260) Weld Metal

AWS ER80S-Ni1 is a weld metal formulated for joining alloy steels. Cited properties are appropriate for the as-welded condition. ER80S-Ni1 is the AWS designation for this material. K11260 is the UNS number.

It has a moderately high ductility among alloy steel welding fillers. In addition, it has a moderately low embodied energy and a moderately low base cost.

The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare AWS ER80S-Ni1 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.
