  • Low Carbon Content

The added molybdenum provides 50% better pitting resistance vs. ER308L grades, while the low carbon content (<0.03%) prevents carbide precipitation in welded zones.

  • Excellent Corrosion Resistance

Excellent resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and general corrosion, especially in chloride-rich environments such as marine and chemical industries.

  • High Strength and Durability

Offers good tensile strength and high-temperature strength, ensuring durability in demanding applications.

  • Welding Parameters

All-position welding

Shielding Gas: 98% Argon +2%O2
