SelectAlloy 307-AP

Stainless Steel / Flux Cored / Gas Shielded

Resources

Features

  • The relatively high Mn content of ~4 wt% helps reduce the chance of weld metal cracking in dissimilar metal welding.
  • Designed for welding in all positions where well washed beads can be achieved with minimal weaving in both 100% CO₂ or 75-80% Ar/balance CO₂ shielding gas
  • Smooth arc transfer produces minimal spatter.
  • Applications for this alloy includes joining difficult to weld steels, hardenable steels, and dissimilar steels, such as welding armor plating and austenitic manganese steel forgings or castings.
