EXATON® 308/308L-17 is a chromium-nickel covered electrode with acid rutile coating for welding of low carbon 18% Cr/10% Ni austenitic stainless steels. In cases where creep strength is of secondary importance 308/308L-17 is suitable for welding stabilized austenitic steels, e.g. ASTM 321 and 347. When a weld metal similar to the parent metal is not required 308/308L-17 can be used for welding ferritic and martensitic steels. The electrode has excellent arc stability, low spatter and fast burn off rate with minimal stub loss. It is also characterized by improved moisture resistance, self peeling slag, easy post weld finishing. 308/308L-17 gives smooth uniform beads and works in any standard weld position. The product is supplied in VacPac.
