Description :

SS-308 is rotile electrode designed for welding type 308 base metal with low or medium carbon content. The SS-308 contains low carbon to avert carbide precipitation during welding as well as weld service. Excellent for welding 18Cr-8Ni steels.

Applications :

Typical applications include stainless steel piping in refineries, oil and gas industries and chemical plants.

Note On Usage :

1. Rebake the electrodes at 200°C for 1 hour and keep it at 100°C prior to use.

2. Use stainless steel wire brush for cleaning of slags.

3. Follow the recommended welding parameters to  achieve good sound welds.
