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.
