JIS Y309
AWS ER309

Description and Applications
HM309 is a gas metal arc welding wire to be used with Ar+0.5∼2.0% O2 shield gas. Arc is stable beaded appearance is beautiful and its ability to weld is satisfactory. Deposited metal contains an adequate amount of ferrite and shows excellent resistance to heat cracking.

Welding of 25% Cr - 12% Ni stainless steels, 18% Nr - 8% Ni stainless steels, clad steels and dissimilar metal such as mild steels to stainless steels for petroleum, chemical engineering and textile industries.
 

Guideline in Usage

1. When 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.
2. In the welding of dissimilar metals, excessive dilution deteriorates crack and corrosion resistance. Care should be taken against the penetration of the base metal.
