TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Joining of clad steels and dissimilar joints between stainless and mild or low alloy steels. Buffer layers on mild and low alloy steels prior to overlaying with E 308L electrode. Welding of similar compositions, 309 type austenitic stainless steel. Joining ferritic – martensitic stainless steel type 410 and 430.
WELDING PROCEDURE The base metal should be free from oil, grease or dirt before welding. Keep a short arc-length. The weld bead should be cleaned with stainless steel wire brush.
REDRYING : 250°C / 2 hrs., max 5 cycles, 10 hr. total.
