Shield-Bright 308H
FCAW wire for 18%Cr - 8%Ni stainless steel, For all-position welding. Shield-Bright 308H was developed for welding Type 304H stainless steel and can also be used for welding Type 301, 302, and 304 steels. It contains a higher carbon level than 308L filler metals to give greater high temperature strength. The ferrite content is also lower for high temperature service. It has greater ductility than 347 types at high temperatures and for that reason it is sometimes used to weld Types 321 and 347 for service above 750°F(399°C)coupled with high stress. Shield-Bright 308H was designed for welding in all positions and performs particularly well in the vertical position with excellent slag removal.
