						Description and Applications | 
					
					
						| 
						HM308 is a gas 
						metal arc welding wire used with Ar + 0.5 ∼2.0% O2 
						shield gas. Arc’s stable beaded appearance is beautiful, 
						and its ability to weld is satisfactory. Deposited 
						metals contain a satisfactory amount of ferrite and 
						shows excellent resistance to heat cracking. Welding of 
						18% Cr - 8%Ni stainless steels for chemical engineering 
						plants and food processing apparatus. |

						Guideline in Usage 
						 | 
					
					
						
						
							
								| 
								 
								While high 
								X-ray quality is required, stable spray transfer 
								mode should be maintained with low current and 
								slow welding speed using a pulsed arc power 
								source.   |
