SelectAlloy 308L
Stainless Steel / Flux Cored / Gas Shielded
Features
- Low C, < 0.04 wt%, minimizes carbide precipitation (sensitization) which makes the weld metal more resistant to intergranular corrosion.
- Produces a finely rippled, equal legged, and well washed bead geometry in both 100% CO₂ or 75-80% Ar/balance CO₂ shielding gas
- Smooth arc transfer and self-releasing slag that peels freely to ensure that clean up time is minimized.
- Applications for this alloy type include welding austenitic alloys of similar composition, 301, 302, 304, 304L, 308, and 308L. These alloys are commonly found in chemical, paper, textile, food service equipment, and pharmaceutical industries.
