AWS ERNiMo-3 Weld Metal

AWS ERNiMo-3 is a nickel-based filler metal for welding. Cited properties are appropriate for the as-welded condition. It has the highest melting temperature and a fairly high embodied energy among nickel-based welding fillers.

The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare AWS ERNiMo-3 to: nickel-based welding fillers (top), all nickel 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.
