BLUE MAX® MIG 347 1/16 inch stainless steel welding wire is specifically engineered for high temperature applications and demanding service conditions. This niobium-stabilized welding wire is ideal for overlay welding on mild steel substrates, providing superior resistance to corrosion, erosion, and abrasion in extreme operating environments.
- Q2 Lot® - Certified Material Test Report with complete documentation showing actual wire composition, Country of Origin, and calculated ferrite number (FN) for each production lot, accessible online through the Certificate Center
- Proprietary surface lubricant technology ensures smooth, consistent wire feeding and superior arc stability for exceptional welding performance at high wire feed speeds
- Niobium-stabilized formulation (Columbium) effectively reduces intergranular corrosion and carbide precipitation in severe operating conditions and elevated temperature service
- Enhanced resistance to sensitization makes it ideal for applications involving sustained high temperature exposure
- Controlled ferrite content provides excellent crack resistance and structural integrity
- Optimized for overlay welding applications requiring superior surface protection on carbon and mild steel base materials
