DETAILS

BLUE MAX® MIG 309L ideal for joining stainless steels to themselves or to carbon or low alloy steels, and can be used at temperatures of up to 700°F (371°C) Reduced carbon levels (0.03% max) offer increased resistance to inter-granular corrosion

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
  • Controlled ferrite content for maximum corrosion resistance
  • The same composition as Blue Max® MIG 309L with higher silicon content to improve the bead appearance and increase welding ease
  • Excellent contour of the weld minimizes the need for grinding
