Blue Max FCP-309L

(AWS E309LT1-1, E309LT1-4, E309T1-1, E309T1-4)
Blue Max FCP-309L is designed for joining stainless steels to carbon steels or low alloy steels. Provides a low carbon deposit. All-position welding, except vertical down.
Advantage Lincoln
Designed for out-of-position welding, especially vertical-up and overhead. For many stainless steel applications that involve welding in a variety of positions no need for procedure changes. Special slag produces a heavy, fast-freezing slag cover, which is partially self-peeling. 75-80% Argon, 25-20% CO2 shielding gas is recommended. Spatter is practically non-existent with 75% Argon, 25% CO2 with 100% CO2 spatter is still very low. ISO 9001 and 14001 certified manufactured to standards for environmental and quality management systems.

For welding of 316 or 316L stainless steels. Designed primarily for submerged arc welding with basic fluxes that recover nearly all of the wires chromium in the weld deposit. Undiluted weld metal is designed to contain considerable ferrite for high crack resistance. Along with Blue Max 2000 flux, several Lincolnweld fluxes can be used; 801, 802, 880, 880M, 882 and ST-100. Lincolnweld ST-100 flux, which will add minor amounts of chromium, can also be used. Should not be used in urea manufacture, as this environment will attack the ferrite. DC+ is the preferred polarity. In some cladding operations DC- may be preferred. ISO 9001 and 14001 certified manufactured to standards for environmental and quality management systems.
