STARINOX 308L

STARINOX 308L is a semi-basic MMA electrode suitable for the welding of austenitic steels Cr-Ni steels or cast steels containing 16-20%Cr and 8-12%Ni, i.e. AISI 304, AISI 304L. This electrode can also be used for welding of stainless steels of the same type whether stabilised or not for services temperatures UP to +350°C. The weld deposit has a carbon content <0,04%. It is particularly suitable for food, nuclear, chemical industry and associated applications.

Features

• Excellent operability and is particularly suitable for downhand butt and fillet welding applications, the 2.5mm and 3.2mm diameter electrodes can be used for positional welding.
• Combines a stable spray arc transfer resulting in excellent weld bead shape and appearance with a slight concave profile in horizontal vertical fillet welds. There is very little spatter and in combination with the self-releasing slag, post welding cleaning time is maintained to a minimum.
• Under wet corrosive conditions suitable for operating temperatures up to 350°C, resistant to scaling up to 800°C.

Welding Positions

• All positions
