DETAILS

BLUE MAX® MIG 308LSi has a higher silicon level than a standard 308L which gives increased puddle fluidity and toe wetting allowing for potentially high travel speeds

Features

Q2 Lot® - Certified Material Test Report showing actual wire composition, Country of Origin and calculated ferrite number (FN) of each lot is available online in the Certificate Center
Proprietary surface lubricant for steady feeding and arc stability leading to exceptional performance at high wire feed speeds
High silicon level for increased puddle fluidity and toe wetting
Versatile electrode designed to weld CrNi austenitic stainless steels
Used to primarily weld equipment made with 304 type stainless steel
Higher silicon content improves wetting of the weld metal and potentially higher travel speeds compared to standard 308L products
