BLUME® ER385 Datasheet

Q: What makes BLUME® ER385 different from other stainless MIG wires?
A: BLUME® ER385 is engineered for high strength, superior corrosion resistance, and professional weld quality, offering enhanced performance over standard ER385 in demanding industrial and chemical environments.

Q: Can it be used for marine applications?
A: Yes – it provides excellent resistance to corrosion and stress cracking in chloride-rich or marine environments.

Q: What shielding gas is recommended?
A: 98% Argon + 2% Oxygen or 95–98% Argon + 2–5% CO₂ ensures smooth arc stability and optimal bead appearance.

Q: Is post-weld heat treatment required?
A: Typically not, but stress-relief or controlled cooling may be beneficial for critical applications.

Q: Why choose BLUME® ER385 over other brands?
A: BLUME® wires deliver consistent chemistry, clean arc performance, and high-quality welds, helping you reduce rework and ensure long-term durability in industrial projects.
