Austenitic metal-cored wire of T 19 9 L / EC308L type for welding matching and similar, stabilized or unstabilized, corrosion resistant austenitic CrNi steels. The easy handling and high deposition rate result in high productivity with excellent welding performance and very low spatter formation. The wire shows good wetting behavior and results in a smooth surface. The wide arc ensures even penetration and side-wall fusion to prevent lack of fusion. This makes the metal-cored wire less sensitive to edge misalignment and variation in gap width as compared to solid wires. Suitable for service temperatures from –196°C to 350°C. The scaling temperature is approximately 800°C in air. Ferrite measured with FeritScope MP30: 4 – 12 FN.
