ER312 SS MIG WIRE | FEATURES

ER312 Stainless Steel MIG Welding Wire
  • The nominal composition (wt,-%) of ER312 is 30 Cr, 9 Ni.
  • Filler metal of ER312 was originally designed to weld cast alloys of similar composition.
  • It also has been found to be valuable in welding dissimilar metals such as carbon steel to stainless steel, particularly those grades high in nickel.
  • Welding process of ER312 SS MIG wire applied to MIG(Metal Inert Gas Welding) or GMAW(Gas Metal Arc Welding).
