Description
The 309L austenitic stainless steel welding alloy has a maximum carbon content of 0.03%, which enhances its corrosion resistance. It is used for welding steel to stainless steel as well as other dissimilar metals. It is also suitable as a buffer layer for stainless steel overlays, providing smooth flow, a stable arc, and minimal spatter. The weld metal exhibits high strength and good hardness across a wide temperature range. Typical applications are for conditions below 315.56°C (600°F).
