Exaton 308/308L-17

308/308L-17 is a chromium-nickel covered electrode with acid rutile coating for welding of low carbon 18% Cr/10% Ni austenitic stainless steels. In cases where creep strength is of secondary importance 308/308L-17 is suitable for welding stabilized austenitic steels, e.g. ASTM 321 and 347. When a weld metal similar to the parent metal is not required 308/308L-17 can be used for welding ferritic and martensitic steels. The electrode has excellent arc stability, low spatter and fast burn off rate with minimal stub loss. It is also characterized by improved moisture resistance, self peeling slag, easy post weld finishing. 308/308L-17 gives smooth uniform beads and works in any standard weld position. The product is supplied in VacPac.

Where To Buy Request Information

For SAW Stainless Steel Welding in Heavy Duty Environments

Developed from a legacy of over 80 years in specialty alloy filler metals, Exaton (formerly Sandvik Welding Operations) is the leading brand in high-quality, corrosion-resistant filler metals. Products are made for welding stainless steel and nickel alloys in the most demanding environments. 

Unbeatable Quality in SAW Wire

Wire quality is consistent from batch to batch in terms of chemistry, mechanical properties and dimensional tolerances. Get consistent welds with no need to trim the parameters.

Innovative Corrosion-Resistant Chemistry

Exaton's innovative chemistry provides high corrosion resistance with increased content of chemical elements such as Cr and Mo. It also delivers productivity improvements, such as permissible finished chemistry with a single layer weld overlay in applications that traditionally required two or even three layers.

SAW Flux with Less Moisture & Damage

Steel drum packaging delivers high moisture resistance and less damage during shipping and handling. This better protects the flux inside. Available in 20-25 kg drums.

SAW Flux that Helps You Save

Electroslag welding is similar to submerged arc strip cladding. The difference, however, is in the flux. ESW flux provides increased speed and fewer cladding layers (weld deposit), resulting in an overall lower cost of operation. Savings are in consumable costs and fewer man hours required.
