Yes make sure you keep your face shield on while inspecting the weld that’s one thing to look out for because that slag be poppin like 💥 😂

Keep a mich tighter arc than you would with low hydrogen rods, and drop the amps by about 10-20% depending on position

Alky unit shutdowns back in the day. Also offshore I don’t mind them as long as they shorty rods. I use a good bit of 309’s around the house on things.

Good rods man love the things verticle up welds are tricky but so good man

308 is also a very good rod for joining dissimilar or unknown steels. Almost always gives a beautiful bead!

Smooth like butter, I didn't know what to expect at first, but then I dialed it in. It was gorgeous

Only once to repair a hydraulic ram. Worked when finished.

Never welded 308 but I have welded 309. Definitely an interesting Rod to use.

I do often with refrigeration trailer repairs. Mostly 309l.

That’s for welding carbon steel to stainless steel.

Sick, as long as your Amps are spot on it flows great.

Awesome I love them running 316 on the regular also stainless steel flux core mig wire absolute game changer

Yeah and I love it

Yeah

You just need to hold a steady electrode travailing speed, also hold a close arc length and avoid over run of the beads during the welding of the pipes

I have many times😊

Love it stick and tig was my favorite

Wear a respirator

Yeap, don’t breathe that in. Tig as well needs to be well ventilated!

Yep. And they are easy AF

Great

What about a video with an uphill SS on a pipe ?

SS Stick .

I just drop my heat down a little and go slow back and forth, get a nice stack of dimes.

Keep a tight arc on a root pass..ok everything else you can long arc it and watch the rod "drip" into the puddle.

I don’t trust the puddle it’s deceptive and the slag shoots at you

I don’t like stick for some odd reason 😂

Damn I didn’t even know that existed I thought it was only GTAW

Don't trust your puddle

We use em for our precast welding jobs i like it sucks they are not magnetic to make it an easy clean up

If the floor is clean first this works well. Cut some floor polish wax with acetone like 10:1 and dip your push broom in it. Dont let it soak or youll melt the bristles. Let it dry. Should be sticky and pick it all up. Dip the broom in HOT water and it all comes off. This works with aluminum chip also.

The older they get they become useless unlike many other rod types.

Messy and looks like crap..use tig with 5/32 filler rod

That stuff doesn't behave at all. Almost have to long arc it, and the rest is spray and pray. One second its going where you want it to, and the next second it's folding over and leaving a void like an ex clearing out your joint checking account. Do not recommend.
