Description
- For welding 18% chromium ” 12% nickel ” 2% molybdenum austenitic stainless steels such as 316 and 317 but with a low ferrite (i.e.
- FN2), it can also be used for welding 304/304L to 316/316L stainless steels in cryogenic service at temperatures down to -452 F.
- The maximum carbon content of less than 0.03% preserves the intergranular corrosion-resistant properties of the weld deposit and weld zone, yielding x-ray quality welds.
- The 2% molybdenum content of 316L gives the weld deposit excellent corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures against “pitting” that may be caused by sulfuric, phosphoric, and acetic acids.
- Common applications include equipment that manufactures rayon, dye, paper, ink, rubber, bleach, photographic chemicals and on the sealing faces of valves and fittings for acid, gas, water, and steam equipment.
- For shielding gas, use 100% Argon or Argon/Helium for greater penetration and higher speeds Spool Weight: 25 Lb, 27.5 Lb or 33 Lb of Wire – Available Sizes: 0.030″, 0.035″ and 0.045″
