STAINLESS STEELS
INOX 308L
MMA COATED
ELECTRODES
Rutile basic electrode with a very low carbon concentration, designed for austenitic stainless
steels without molybdenum, type 18/8 (304, 304L). It is very resistant to corrosion in oxidised
environments and can be used in all positions. It is recommended for the rst pass in all cases
where regular penetration and compacity are necessary.
