Low Alloy Steel Wire

MAXFIL- 38R

AWS: SFA 5.29 E91T1-K2C

EN ISO CODE: 17632-B T572T1-1CA N3

Maxfil-38R is a low alloy steel flux cored wire designed for welding of moderate strength fine-grained steels to meet sub-zero impact resistance property down to -18°C. The wire is suitable for positional welding application, results easy slag removal and has excellent welders appeal. Weld bead is smooth & uniform and satisfies the requirements of radiographic quality.

Maxfil-38R is designed for single and multi-pass welding of similar composition steels and equivalent grade steels like; A/B grades of SA-203, A/B/C grades of SA-662, etc. This wire is used for fabrication of penstock pipelines, pressure vessels & valves, refineries, off-shore structures and similar applications, etc.
