Submerged Arc Welding (SAW)

CLASSIFICATIONS:
AWS A5.9 : ER308
AWS A5.9 : ER308L

LINCOLNWELD® 308/308L Submerged Arc Wire designed to be used for joining the more common 18-8 austenitic, 302, 304 and 304L stainless steels.

DETAILS

LINCOLNWELD® 308/308L provides a weld deposit with reduced carbon levels (0.03% max) that offers increased resistance to inter-granular corrosion, while the balanced chromium and nickel levels provide enough ferrite in the weld metal for high resistance to hot cracking.

Features

  • Designed to be used primarily with basic fluxes
  • Versatile electrode designed to weld several types of austenitic steels
  • Balanced chromium and nickel levels provide enough ferrite in the weld metal for high resistance to hot cracking
  • Provides a weld deposit with reduced carbon levels (0.03% max) that offers increased resistance to inter-granular corrosion

Typical Applications

  • ASTM A743, A744 Types CF-8 and CF-3
  • ASTM A240 Types 302, 304, 304L
  • For joining the more common austenitic stainless steel grades referred to as “18-8” steels
  • Type 308L is ideal for welding Type 304L stainless steels

Welding Positions

  • Not applicable
