At high temperatures
Intermetallic phases precipitate at temperatures exceeding 600°C (1110°F). As a result, the steel should not be subjected to these temperatures for extended durations.

Processing / Welding
Sanicro 35 has good weldability, and TIG welding (GTAW) is a suitable fusion welding process.
Welding should be done with a modest heat input of no more than 1.2 kJ/mm and a maximum interpass temperature of 100 °C. A stringer welding technique should be utilized. Preheating and post-weld heat treatment are unnecessary. To ensure that the welded joint retains its complete corrosion resistance, welding must be followed by careful cleaning to remove all oxides and heat tint. Ar + 2%N2 is recommended as a shielding and backing gas for TIG welding to get the best mix of mechanical qualities and corrosion resistance in the welded joint.
Welding austenitic stainless steels and nickel-base alloys frequently results in the risk of hot cracking in the welded joints.
