Bohler E 308 H-FD description: BOHLER E 308 H-FD is a flux cored wire with rutile slag characteristic for GMAW of austenitic CrNi steels like 1.4948 / AISI 304H. This wire is designed mainly for downhand and horizontal welding positions. The weld metal is suitable for service temperatures up to approx. 700°C. This product achieves high productivity and is easy to operate achieving excellent welding characteristics, almost no spatter formation and temper discoloration, smooth weld finish and safe penetration. Increased travel speeds as well as little demand for cleaning and pickling provide considerable savings in time and money. The weld deposit is scaling resistant and because of the controlled low delta ferrite content high resistant against sigma phase embrittlement.
