Characteristics:
It is designed with lower range carbon to help prevent intergranular corrosion. It suitable for welding of low carbon 18%Cr-8%Ni stainless steel such as AISI 301, 302, 304L, 308L.It is also used for joining some dissimilar 300 series stainless steel.
Applications:
It is used for oil and gas refineries, stainless steel sheet metal works, rail car fabrication industry include welding of AISI 301, 302 and 308 in chemical.
Notes on Usage:
- For TIG process, use DC(-) current , Argon Shield and Tungsten Electrode.
