SHIELD-BRIGHT 308L

Shield-Bright 308L was developed for out-of-position welding on type 304 or 304L steels.

Features

Shield-Bright 308L was developed for welding type 304L stainless steel and can also be used for welding types 301, 302, and 304 steels. It may also be used for welding types 321 and 347 if the service conditions do not exceed an approximate of 750°F (399°C).

Shield-Bright 308L was designed for welding in all position and performs particularly well in the vertical position with excellent slag removal.
