DETAILS

BLUE MAX® MIG 308LSi has a higher silicon level than a standard 308L which gives increased puddle fluidity and toe wetting allowing for potentially high travel speeds

Features

  • Q2 Lot® - Certified Material Test Report showing actual wire composition, Country of Origin and calculated ferrite number (FN) of each lot is available online in the Certificate Center
  • Proprietary surface lubricant for steady feeding and arc stability leading to exceptional performance at high wire feed speeds
  • High silicon level for increased puddle fluidity and toe wetting
  • Versatile electrode designed to weld CrNi austenitic stainless steels
  • Used to primarily weld equipment made with 304 type stainless steel
  • Higher silicon content improves wetting of the weld metal and potentially higher travel speeds compared to standard 308L products
