Thermanit 309L Si is a high-alloyed austenitic stainless solid wire. It works on pressure vessels, process piping and austenitic structures where corrosion resistance counts.
Among the parent materials it covers 1.4301, X5CrNi18-10, 1.4306, X2CrNi19-11, 1.4308, 1.4401 and 1.4404, and the deposit has an austenitic structure.

- Shielding gas: M12, M13
- Diameters: 0.8 / 1.0 / 1.2 / 1.6 mm
- Approvals: TÜV (12312), DNV, CE
After welding remove the heat tint by pickling or brushing, the oxide layer alone lowers the corrosion resistance of the joint. Watch the wire stick-out from the contact tip, too long a one lowers the arc voltage and worsens the fusion. Set the gas flow so the pool is covered over the whole length of the bead, and shield the station when you work in wind.
