8 Arcaloy 308L
was developed for welding 304L. This electrode deposits a maximum of .04% carbon
in the weld metal. Weld deposit analyses
are made on every lot of Type 308L to insure that this rigid specification is
maintained. Type 308L is used extensively
for welding of chemical plant equipment, and may be used successfully for welding
types 304, 321 and 347 steels, providing
service temperature is less than 500°F (260°C). Arcaloy 308L minimizes
the formation of chromium carbides in the weld
metal. Continued on next
