Shield-Bright 309LMo was developed as an over-alloyed wire used in cladding and joining dissimilar metals.
Shield-Bright 309LMo was designed for welding type 316 clad steels on the first pass in cladding steels or for welding dissimilar metals such as molybdenum-containing austenitic stainless steels to carbon steels. It is used in paper mills and in power plants to give greater corrosion resistance. This wire performs best when used out-of-position shielded with either Argon/CO2 or 100%CO2.
