PHILSTAIN 308W

AWS Specification: AWS A5.4 E308-16

JIS Specification: NONE

Other Specification: NONE

I. APPLICATIONS:

The main application is for welding austenitic steel with the same analysis as the weld metal (AISI304 stainless steel, etc.) and can also be used for the welding of AISI301 and AISI302 stainless steel.

II. DESCRIPTION:

PHILSTAIN 308W is a lime titania coated welding electrode for welding of 18% Cr – 8% Ni stainless steel.

III. NOTES ON USAGE:

Remove dirts such as oil and dust from the groove.
Normally, pre-heat is not necessary.
Keep the arc length as short as possible.
Rebake the electrode at 200°C for 60 minutes before use.
