FCAW wire for 18%Cr - 8%Ni stainless steel, For all-position welding. Shield-Bright 308H was developed for welding Type 304H stainless steel and can also be used for welding Type 301, 302, and 304 steels. It contains a higher carbon level than 308L filler metals to give greater high temperature strength. The ferrite content is also lower for high temperature service. It has greater ductility than 347 types at high temperatures and for that reason it is sometimes used to weld Types 321 and 347 for service above 750°F(399°C)coupled with high stress. Shield-Bright 308H was designed for welding in all positions and performs particularly well in the vertical position with excellent slag removal.
The Shield-Bright series of gas-shielded stainless cored wires are specially designed to produce superior operability for all-position welding applications. Regardless of position, the weld deposit will be flat, which is a quality provided by the faster freezing slag. With a rutile based slag system, Shield-Bright gas-shielded flux-cored wires always operate in the spray transfer mode and can be used at high currents with high deposition rates using mixed or CO2 shielding gas. A full range of grades makes product selection simple.
Shield-Bright wires have easy slag release, even in V butt joints. When not completely self-releasing, the slag can be removed with minimum effort. The spatter levels are nearly non-existent, allowing for additional savings in post-weld cleaning.
ESAB's Arcaloy stainless steel metal-cored wires are small diameter stainless steel composite electrodes designed primarily for the welding of thin gauge materials. These wires have all the typical characteristics of a metal-cored wire: higher deposition rate and a rounder penetration profile than a solid wire. As a result, these wires are best used to make small butt, fillet, and lap type welds on gauge material at increased travel speeds compared to solid wire, which is ideal for automated or robotic welding applications.
