Weld Mold® 308

---

Weld Mold 308 is a typical 308 stainless. The weld bead is finely rippled and well contoured. The microstructure is mostly austenitic.

Applications

Weld Mold 308 is ideal for welding type 308, 301, 302, 304 & 306 stainless steels.

Procedure

Clean all areas to be welded and keep interpass temperatures as low as possible while welding on 300 series stainless steels.
