Arcaloy 308L Plus electrodes have a heavy coating, produce
a concave bead with minimum ripple and the slag is virtually self-
cleaning. For welding types 304, 304L, 308 and 308L when
bead appearance is important. The excellent wetting action and very
fine ripple minimize crevice corrosion and grinding time.
The low carbon content helps to prevent carbide precipitation. Arcaloy
