FAQ
FAQ
FAQ Section
Q: What base metals can BLUME® E309LMo-16 weld?
A: Designed for 309LMo and 310 stainless steels, and excellent for stainless-to-carbon steel dissimilar welding.
Q: Can it be used in all welding positions?
A: Yes. Performs reliably in flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions with smooth arc control.
Q: How is BLUME® E309LMo-16 different from standard electrodes?
A: It features molybdenum-enriched alloying, low-hydrogen flux, and ultra-low spatter, producing stronger, more corrosion-resistant welds with professional finish.
Q: How should it be stored?
A: Store in a dry 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 applications?
A: Yes. BLUME® E309LMo-16 meets AWS and ASME standards, ideal for pressure vessels, chemical plants, and high-corrosion stainless steel projects.
