DETAILS
Blue Max® MIG wire is designed to perform exceptionally at high wire feed speeds
Features
- Similar to 309L with the exception for the addition of 2.0 - 3.0% molybdenum to increase its pitting corrosion resistance in halide-containing environments
- Surfacing (buffer layer) of base metals to improve their resistance to corrosion
- Used to achieve a single-layer overlay with a chemical composition similar to that of a 316L stainless steel
Typical Applications
- General Fabrication
- Process Industries
- Used for the first layer of multiple-layer overlays with filler metals such as 316L or 317L stainless steel
Welding Positions
- All
Shielding Gas
- 98% Ar/ 2% O2
