JIS Y308L
AWS ER309

Description and Applications
HM308L is a gas metal arc welding wire to be used with Ar+0.5∼2.0% O2 shield gas. The metal deposits show excellent resistance to inter-crystalline corrosion due to its extremely low carbon content, and shows an even higher strength in high temperatures.

Welding of low carbon 18% Cr∼12% Ni stainless steels for chemical engineering plants, textile industries, and generators.
 

Guideline in Usage

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