|
Additional Info
|
Benefits
- Produces smooth, clean, defect-free welds in all grades of stainless steel
- Produces low distortion, spatter and good fusion. Results in clean, bright welds with a flat profile, reducing post-weld cleaning
- Provides excellent positional welding characteristics, which are advantageous for fabricating large metal components
Applications Summary
- Commonly used in the MIG welding of components of thicknesses of up to 3mm
- Suitable for both manual and automatic applications
- Used for a variety of applications from welding automotive components such as exhausts, to sheet metal components including heating and ventilation ducting
- Specifically formulated for dip transfer with solid wire, producing minimal spatter
Material Specific Applications
The following tabled data provides you with a guide to materials and welding processes with which Stainshield Light can be used:
- Austenitic, ferritic, martensitic and duplex stainless steels
- Nickel alloys (not Monels)
