Austenitic stainless rutile flux-cored wire of T 23 12 2 L R / E309LMoT0 type for welding and cladding preferably in flat and horizontal position. The corrosion resistance is superior to T 19 12 3 L / E316L type fillers. Primarily designed for welding dissimilar joints between stainless steels and low alloyed steels. It can also be used for overlay welding, providing an 18Cr-8Ni-2Mo deposit from the very first layer. The wire offers high safety against hot cracking even at high dilution. Alloying with molybdenum increases the corrosion resistance and weld metal strength. Easy handling and high deposition rate result in high productivity with excellent welding performance, very low spatter formation and a smooth surface. Increased travel speeds as well as self-releasing slag with little demand for cleaning and pickling provide considerable savings in time and money. The wide arc ensures even penetration and side-wall fusion to prevent lack of fusion. Suitable for service temperatures from –60°C to 300°C. For welding in vertical-up and overhead positions, FOXcore 309LMo-T1 should be preferred. Ferrite measured with FeritScope MP30 14 – 20 FN.
