BLUE MAX® MIG 316L is designed for joining 316/316L stainless steels, typically used in power generation, chemical and petrochemical processing.

Détails

BLUE MAX® MIG 316L has low carbon content which reduces the possibility of carbide precipitation and intergranular corrosion.

Traits

  • 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
  • The 2-3% molybdenum improves pitting corrosion resistance of the weld deposit
  • Low carbon content reduces the possibility of carbide precipitation and intergranular corrosion
