Executive PLUS - E309/309L-17 AWS/SFA 5.4 - 5/32" (4.0mm) x 14" (355mm) - Stainless Steel Coated Electrode (10.1lb Container)
Sold per lb
Executive PLUS electrodes have a unique European formulation designed for the most discriminating operator. Improved silica-titania (AC-DC) coating resists moisture pickup. A careful selection of raw materials and an advanced manufacturing process guarantees the electrodes resist starting porosity; even under extreme humidity and when left exposed to the atmosphere for prolonged periods. Noble chemistry improves corrosion resistance in challenging environments and actual weld deposit chemistries as well as controlled ferrites with each batch. Executive PLUS 309/309L provides superior weldability, low spatter, and smooth beads with easy slag removal and can be used in all positions when welding as root runs in butt welds and thin plates in general. Executive 309L deposits are not as strong at elevated temperatures as the niobium-stabilized alloy or Executive 309H deposits. If post-weld heat treatment of the carbon steel is essential, the total procedure, welding, and heat treatment should be proven before implementation.
APPLICATIONS & FEATURES
Commonly used for welding dissimilar steels, such as joining Type 304 to mild or low alloy steel, welding the clad side of Type 304clad steels, welding the first layer of E308L weld cladding, and applying stainless steel sheet linings to carbon steel. Executive PLUS features include high current-carrying capacity, a smooth finely rippled weld bead, self-detaching slag with no residue, elimination of starting porosity, and superior arc stability with excellent strike and restrike characteristics.
