BLUME® E309-16 Datasheet

Q: What materials can BLUME® E309-16 weld?
A: Perfect for 309 and 310 stainless steels, and excellent for dissimilar metal joints with carbon steel.

Q: Can it be used in all positions?
A: Yes, BLUME® E309-16 performs well in flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions, providing a stable, controllable arc.

Q: How does it differ from standard E309-16 electrodes?
A: With precision flux formulation, ultra-low hydrogen content, and strict quality standards, BLUME® E309-16 delivers stronger, cleaner, and more professional welds.

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

Q: Is it suitable for critical or code-compliant welding?
A: Yes. BLUME® E309-16 meets AWS and ASME standards, ideal for pressure vessels, chemical plants, and high-corrosion applications.
