Applications and Features :

• Weld metal is austenite structure with 20%Cr-9%Ni.

• It provides good weldability and puddle fluidity.

• It has good crack and corrosion resistance due to its moderate ferrite content.

• It is suitable for welding thin plate of 18%Cr-8%Ni stainless steel with high travel speed, such as AISI 301, 302, 304, 304L and 308 steel.

 

Welding Instruction

(1) Use Ar blend with 1~2%O2 for high current spray transfer welding. (2) Use Ar blend with 1~2%CO2 for low current, short-circuit transfer welding.
