| Other standards | ISO 20172: Gruppe 1.2 · TÜV Kennblatt 1000: Gruppe 1 |
Purpose
- Solid molybdenum wire (0.5% Mo, ER70S-A1) — MIG/MAG welding of low-alloy heat-resistant Mo steels, for piping, boilers, equipment, and tanks.
Why it works
Molybdenum alloys the deposit for creep resistance under sustained elevated-temperature service — the same alloying principle as the FERVEO CMO MoR/MoB electrodes, here in solid-wire form for the MIG/MAG process.
Fields of application
- Low-alloy molybdenum steel piping, boilers, equipment, platforms, and tanks in continuous elevated-temperature service.

Equivalence refers to the classification (AWS / EN ISO), not to product identity. In applications with a qualified procedure (WPS), validate the substitution before use.

Advantages
- Solid-wire format — mechanized/semi-automatic welding productivity and lower starting hydrogen than a covered electrode, relevant for this steel type.
- Same molybdenum alloying principle as the FERVEO CMO MoR/MoB electrodes — consistent in-service behavior across processes.
Limitations
- No chromium in the alloy — the entry step of the FERVEO CMO family in creep- and hot-oxidation resistance; for more demanding duty, see the chromium-bearing grades (FERVEO CMO 1 and up).
