MaxCore 347 flux cored wire is welded in all positions 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. It performs equally well when welding in the flat and horizontal positions.
MaxCore 347 flux-cored wire is used for welding Type 347, 321, and 348 austenitic stainless steels. The Nb content in this weld metal stabilizes the carbon in the matrix thus preventing sensitization in the welds and loss of corrosion resistance. The niobium carbides also increases the strength of the welds. It is used in welding high temperature components like furnace parts, pressure vessels, chemical tanks, and automotive parts.
