MaxCore 309 flux cored wire is welded in all position welding to be used with CO2 or Argon + CO2 mixed shielding gases. This wire benefits from fast freezing slag systems which assist the operator when welding out of position and performs equally well when welding in the flat and horizontal positions.
MaxCore 309 flux-cored wire is used for welding 25%Cr-12%Ni stainless steels and welding dissimilar alloys. The higher carbon content of 0.04-0.08% in this electrode helps in high temperature applications. It is used in refineries, petrochemicals and processing equipments. It is used in a big way in dissimilar joints between carbon and stainless steels and also between carbon and low alloy steels. It has also substantial application as first layer of overlay in cladding carbon steels.
