Sowesco 309LT TIG Rod – 1/8 in

Pinnacle Alloys E309LT has a nominal composition (wt.-%) of 23.5 Cr, 13 Ni, with a maximum carbon content of 0.04. With this low carbon content, it is possible to obtain resistance to intergranular corrosion due to carbide precipitation without the use of stabilizers such as niobium and titanium. A primary application of this alloy is the first layer cladding of carbon steel when no niobium additions are required. Pinnacle Alloys E309LT0-1/14 is utilized in welding refinery and chemical processing equipment, as well as furnace and auto exhaust parts. It welds Type 309 stainless steel, joins carbon and low alloy steels, welds 304 clad sheets, and the first layer cladding of carbon steel. It delivers superb performance characteristics in the flat and horizontal positions, has little spatter, and easy-to-remove slag. Minimal weaving is required to achieve a flat, well-washed bead.
