MIG/TIG ARC WELDING FOR STAINLESS STEELS & CARBON STEELS

ST-308 AWS A5.9 / ASME SFA5.9 ER308

JIS Z3321 Y308

TIG welding of 18%-8%Ni stainless steel.

Applications

KR, ABS, DNV

Approval

ST-308 is a filler rod for TIG welding with pure Ar gas.

As the weld metal contains ferrite, its crack resistibility is excellent.

Both its bead appearance and weldability are good.

Furthermore, resistance to corrosion and mechanical properties is good.
