Applications

E308

Thyssen-Therm J Kobe-MGS E308 is typically used when Lincoln L18.8 the corrosive conditions are Pacweld -PW176SS not severe Sanvik 19.9 Note (L). The lower carbon is used to avert the formation of carbide precipitation Note Si or Hi Si. The high silicon can increase arc stability and the weld wetting, which is important for some the low amp, sluggish, short circuit welds

Used for welding 309 and austenitic to ferritic (carbon) steels

309L

Used for weld overlay applications or butter passes. (H) Has minimum carbon content lower carbon can cause micro cracking causing tensile reductions

To weld 310 and 304 clad and stainless overlay

For low or high temp, corrosive or any critical applications always confirm electrode choice with wire manufacturer. Using ELC ensure weld gas has less than 3% CO2. A low co2 mix is less oxidizing than a low oxygen mix.For low carbon base use low carbon filler identified by EXXXL
