DETAILS
Blue Max® MIG wire is designed to perform exceptionally at high wire feed speeds
Features
- A super-duplex grade electrode that provides matching chemistry and mechanical property characteristics to wrought super-duplex alloys such as 2507 and Zeron 100, as well as to super duplex casting alloys (ATSM A890)
- Provides optimum ferrite/ austenite ratio in the finished weld, resulting in high tensile and yield strength, along with superior resistance to stress corrosion, cracking (SCC) and pitting corrosion
- Q2 Lot® - Certificate showing actual wire composition and calculated ferrite number (FN) available online
