Stainless Steels
FW 304
AWS: SFA
EN ISO CODE:
FW 304 is a solid wire for TIG welding, available in bright finish, gives smooth flow, stable arc and spatter free under optimum welding conditions. It gives radiographic quality welds. Wire contains 19Cr - 10Ni. The weld metal exhibits excellent resistance to Intergranular Corrosion. It is ideally suited for welding of stainless steels of similar composition like 304 and equivalents, for overlays, surfacing, and repairing castings of similar materials.
