Why choose this cored wire?
FCW S 308L is a rutile stainless steel flux-cored wire designed for welding 304/304L austenitic stainless steels. Its excellent arc stability, bead appearance and corrosion resistance make it the consumable of choice for demanding industrial applications.
The advantages of the FCW S 308L :
-Excellent weldability: soft arc, easy priming and even deposit, even in difficult positions.
– Excellent corrosion resistance: suitable for food, chemical and moisture-exposed environments.
-Low carbon content (308L): limits carbide precipitation and reduces the risk of intergranular corrosion.
Self-removing slurry and attractive cord appearance: time-saving cleaning and a neat finish.
-Versatile in processes and positions: ideal for manual or semi-automated welding, in any position.
-Compatible with several protective gases: including Ar + CO₂ or Ar + O₂, depending on site requirements.
