AWS A5.9 ER308 1.2MM MIG Stainless Steel Welding Wire

Applications and Features :

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

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

• It provides stable arc and smooth beads.

• It is suitable for welding 18%Cr-8%Ni stainless steel, such as AISI 304, 301, 302 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.
