DETAILS
Blue Max® MIG wire is designed to perform exceptionally at high wire feed speeds
Features
- Similar to ER320 with Lower Residuals (LR) of carbon, silicon,phosphorus, and sulfur to reduce hot cracking & micro-fissuring (while maintaining corrosion resistance) frequently encountered in fully austenitic stainless steel weld metals
- Excellent oxidation and corrosion resistance and is able to resist high temperatures and scaling
- Q2 Lot® - Certificate showing actual wire composition
Typical Applications
- Process Piping
- Petrochemical
- Process Industries
Welding Positions
- All
Shielding Gas
- 98% Ar/ 2% O2
