309L stainless steel GTAW (TIG) welding alloy has similar usage as 309, but the 0.03% maximum carbon content (0.03% maximum), reduces the possibility of carbide precipitation that can cause weld corrosion, to increase resistance to intergranular corrosion. Used for welding similar alloys in wrought or cast form. Occasionally used for welding 18-8 base metals when severe corrosion conditions exist, and, at times, welding dissimilar steels. Conforms to AWS A5.9. Packaged for portable welding machines. Conveniently packaged for point-of-purchase display.

Applications

  • Welding type 304 and similar base metals
  • Welding base metals of similar composition in wrought or cast form
  • Welding dissimilar steels

Features

  • Embossed on each end for easy identification after use
  • Lower carbon content (.03% max.) resists carbide precipitation that can cause weld corrosion
  • Welds 304 and similar base metals in wrought or cast form where severe corrosion conditions may exist
  • Sometimes welds dissimilar steels
  • One year warranty
