308L

Description

Rutile-basic coated electrode for 304L austenitic stainless steels base materials
Its basic-rutile coating ensures an excellent combination of welding performance in all positions, except for vertical down, and a high resistance to cracking providing smooth arc transfer. Excellent weldability with a spatter free arc and self-releasing slag result in a very smooth bead appearance. These electrodes are used to weld 18Cr/8Ni stainless steels. Mainly applications include food industries, pharmaceutical equipment and general fabrication. Typical service temperatures are -100°C to 400°C.

Description

Application

Engineered for welding 18Cr/8Ni stainless steels, encompassing 301, 302, 303, nitrogen-bearing 304LN, and titanium-stabilized 321, these welding consumables offer versatile performance. They perform well in service temperatures ranging from -100°C to about 400°C, making them suitable for applications in food, brewery, pharmaceutical equipment, architectural and general fabrication, as well as nuclear engineering. It's important to note that these consumables, specifically 308L, are not recommended for elevated temperature structural applications involving 304/304H; refer to 308H for such applications. For cryogenic use at -196°C, consult 308LCF. No preheating is required, and the recommended maximum interpass temperature is 250°C, with no post-weld heat treatment necessary.

Alloy Type

308L austenitic stainless steels for joining 304L base materials.

Microstructure

Austenite with a controlled level of ferrite, normally in the range 3-12FN depending on the application.
