BLUME® E308-16 Datasheet

Q: What materials can BLUME® E308-16 weld?
A: It is ideal for 304, 304L, and 308 stainless steels, and can also be used for dissimilar stainless-to-carbon steel welds when corrosion resistance is needed.

Q: Can it be used in all positions?
A: Yes. BLUME® E308-16 performs excellently in flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions with a stable, controlled arc.

Q: What sets BLUME® E308-16 apart from standard electrodes?
A: It features precision-engineered flux, ultra-low hydrogen content, and strict quality control, delivering cleaner, stronger, and more aesthetically pleasing welds.

Q: How should it be stored?
A: Keep in a dry storage oven at 250°F (120°C). If exposed to moisture, rebake at 650°F (340°C) for 1 hour before use.

Q: Is it suitable for critical or code-compliant welding?
A: Yes. BLUME® E308-16 meets AWS and ASME standards, making it ideal for pressure vessels, chemical plants, and other critical stainless applications.
