Designed to be used primarily with basic fluxes that recover nearly all of the wire chromium in the deposit
Low carbon content recommended where there is a risk ofåÊintergranular corrosionåÊ
Reduced carbon levels (0.03% max) that offers increased resistance to inter-granular corrosionåÊ

Typical Applications
ASTM A743, A744 Types CF-8 and CF-3 and ASTM A240 Type 309S
For joining carbon or mild alloy steel to austenitic stainless steelsåÊ
Can also be used on “18-8” steels, since it overmatches the corrosion resistance, if the weldment will not be exposed to temperatures of 538å¡C to 927å¡C
Idea for joining stainless steels to themselves or to low carbon or low alloy steels, and can be used at temperatures up to 700å¡FåÊ
