• Most commonly used for all-position welding of low carbon 19% chromium – 9% nickel austenitic stainless steels such as 304L as well as stabilized grades such as 321 and 347
• The 0.04% maximum carbon content of this electrode preserves the intergranular corrosion resistant properties of the weld deposit and weld zone yielding x-ray quality welds
• Easy strike and restriking of the arc, smooth arc action, low spatter, and a self-peeling slag
• Beautiful finely rippled weld bead, which when ground or polished cannot be distinguished from the base metal
• Common applications include stainless steel fabrication or repairs in dairy, food or restaurant equipment, chemical tanks, or as a protective overlay on steel where medium hardness and corrosion resistant properties are desired
