Shield-Bright 309H was developed for out-of-position weld on 309H stainless where high temperature service is required.
Shield-Bright 309H was developed for the welding of Type 309 and similar stainless steels. Its ferrite content, which is lower than Shield-Bright 309L, allows for joining carbon and low alloy steels provided the dilution is not too great and the service temperature is above 750ºF (399ºC) where creep strength properties are necessary.
Shield-Bright 309H was designed for welding in all positions and performs particularly well in the vertical position with excellent slag removal.
