DETAILS
Blue Max® MIG wire is designed to perform exceptionally at high wire feed speeds
Features
- High silicon level for increased puddle fluidity and toe wetting
- Proprietary surface lubricant for steady feeding and arc stability
- Same composition as Blue Max MIG 309L with higher silicon content to improve the bead appearance and increase welding ease
- Excellent contour of the weld minimizes the need for grinding
