SelectAlloy 308L-AP HF

Stainless Steel / Flux Cored / Gas Shielded

Resources

Features

  • Low C, < 0.04 wt%, minimizes carbide precipitation (sensitization) which makes the weld metal more resistant to intergranular corrosion.
  • Designed for welding in all positions where well washed beads can be achieved in both 100% CO₂ or 75-80% Ar/balance CO₂ shielding gas.
  • Smooth arc transfer and self-releasing slag that peels easily to ensure that clean up time is minimized.
  • Designed with a tightly controlled, modified chemistry, to meet a WRC 1992 ferrite number (FN) of greater than 13.
