Arcaloy 308L-17 plus electrodes have a heavy coating, produce a concave bead with minimum ripple and the slag is virtually self-cleaning. These electrodes are designed to weld types 304, 304L, 321 and 347 for corrosion service at temperature up to about 315 deg C (600 deg F). The excellent wetting action and very fine ripple minimize crevice corrosion and grinding time. This is particularly useful in the food and drink industry where a smooth polished surface is required.
