▎Applications and Features

  • Weld metal is austenite with 20% Cr-10% Ni.
  • It provides good strength at high temperature due to higher carbon content.
  • It is suitable for welding AISI 304 and 308H steel.

▎Welding Instruction

  • Use Ar blend with 1~2%O2 for high current, spray transfer welding.
  • Use Ar blend with 1~2%CO2 for low current, short-circuit transfer welding.
  • For other instructions, please refer to Appendix D.
  • For extra information, please refer to Appendix F

▎Applications

It is suitable for welding AISI 304 and 308H steel.
