Abracrom 308 L VAC

18/8 stainless steel electrode

Product description

Rutile-base electrode depositing an austenitic steel with an average ferrite content of around 8% and very low carbon content. Very low moisture pick-up, gentle melting without spattering, good slag detachment, excellent bead appearance. Service temperature – 196°C to + 350°C, easy re-priming.

 

For use on all 18/8 steels: tubes, tanks, heat exchangers, piping.
