UGIWELD 308LM (MIG 308LSi)

UGIWELD 308LM (MIG 308LSi) is a low-carbon, solid MIG/MAG wire for welding of corrosion resistant materials such as AISI 304, EN 1.4301, EN 1.4307 etc. Normally, mixed gas Argon/CO2 or Argon/O2 are used as the shielding gas. This ensures a user friendly, stable welding arc with less spatter, a good visual bead appearance and smooth transition to the parent material. The wire can be used both with or without Pulsesyncing. And it can also be used for welding of Nb- and Tistabilized materials (i.e. ASTM 321) when operating temperature does not exceed 400 °C. By higher operating temperatures, a Nb-stabilized welding wire is used. ”Purity” is the keyword when welding high alloyed materials. Impurities in the weld, will cause porosity. Inter-pass temperature should not exceed 150 °C. Heat input should not exceed <2.0kJ/mm. The weld metal will have an Austenitic structure with a low portion of Ferrite (typically 5-9% ferrite).
