DETAILS

BLUE MAX® MIG 308H designed for Welding 302/304H/305 stainless steels, and is commonly used to provide creep strength and high tensile strength at elevated temperatures

Features

  • Q2 Lot® - Certified Material Test Report showing actual wire composition, Country of Origin and calculated ferrite number (FN) of each lot is available online in the Certificate Center
  • Proprietary surface lubricant for steady feeding and arc stability leading to exceptional performance at high wire feed speeds
  • Provides a higher carbon deposition (minimum of 0.04% carbon) than Blue Max MIG 308L
  • The higher carbon deposit provides creep strength and higher tensile at elevated service temperatures
