FEATURES & APPLICATIONS |
Use on typical brewery, food, and pharmaceutical equipment, also for architectural fabrication.
- General purpose stainless steel electrode designed for ease of use on types 304L, 301, 302, 303, 308 and 321.
- Controlled silicon content provides maximum corrosion/ cracking resistance.
- “Low hydrogen” manufacturing technology ensures high resistance to weld metal porosity.
- High purity core wire gives very low carbon content.
