Cromarod 308L is a rutile-coated AC and DC stick for welding low carbon AISI 304L austenitic 18% Cr/10% Ni stainless steels. Excellent weldability, low spatter, smooth and regular flame surface. The slag is self-transferring.

Welding is possible in all positions up to 3,25 mm beam thickness. Cromarod 308L is also ideal for welding standard AISI 304 and similar niobium and titanium stabilised grades (AISI 347, 321) at operating temperatures below 400°C. For higher operating temperatures, Cromarod 308H is recommended.
