(MIG Stainless Steel Wires)
▶︎ 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 AI SI301, 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 AISI301, 302 and 308 in chemical.
▶︎ Notes on Usage:
1. For TIG process, use DC(-) current , Argon Shield and Tungsten Electrode.
2. For MIG process, use Spray Transfer or Short Circuit Transfer mode.
3. 98%Argon – 2%O2 shielding gas is recommended in MIG process.
