BLUME® E309L-16 Datasheet

Q: What base metals can BLUME® E309L-16 weld?
A: Ideal for 309L and 310L 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, providing a stable, controllable arc.

Q: How is BLUME® E309L-16 different from standard electrodes?
A: It features precision flux formulation, ultra-low hydrogen content, and low carbon alloying, ensuring stronger, cleaner, and more corrosion-resistant 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 projects?
A: Yes. BLUME® E309L-16 meets AWS and ASME standards, making it perfect for pressure vessels, chemical plants, and other critical stainless steel applications.
