Blue Max ® Submerged Arc Wire
Blue Max ® ER308, DC+ Blue Max ® S308/308L is designed primarily for submerged arc welding with basic
S308/308L ER308L DC- fluxes. Balanced chromium and nickel levels provide enough ferrite in the weld
metal for high resistance to hot cracking. Recommended Fluxes: Lincolnweld
® 801,
802, 880, 880M, 882, ST-100, and Blue Max ® 2000.
Blue Max ® ER309, DC+ Blue Max ® S309/309L wire is designed for submerged arc welding with basic
S309/309L ER309L DC- fluxes that recover nearly all of the wire chromium in the deposit. Good
resistance to hot cracking. Recommended Fluxes: Lincolnweld
® 801, 802,
880, 880M, 882, ST-100, and Blue Max ® 2000.
Blue Max ® ER316, DC+ Blue Max ® S316/316L is designed for submerged arc welding with basic fluxes
S316/316L ER316L DC- that recover nearly all of the wire chromium in the deposit. Good resistance to
hot cracking. Recommended Fluxes: Lincolnweld
® 801, 802, 880, 880M, 882,
ST-100, and Blue Max ® 2000.
Blue Max ® ER2209 DC+ Blue Max ® LNS 4462 is designed for joining duplex (ferritic-austenitic) stainless
LNS 4462 AC steel.
LNS NiCro 60/20 ERNiCrMo-3 DC± LNS NiCro is designed for joining nickel-based alloys. Depending on the
AC application, it is also suitable for welding fully austenitic stainless steels, 9%
Ni-steel and dissimilar joints.
LNS NiCro Mo 60/16 ERNiCrMo-4 DC+ LNS NiCroMo 60/16 is designed for welding CrMoW-alloyed nickel alloys, such as
C-276. Weld deposits are extremely resistant to corrosion environments containing
sulphuric acid and chlorides. Applicable for surfacing in high temperature appli-
cations up to 2192˚F (1200˚C).
Blue Max ® Submerged Arc and Electroslag Fluxes
Blue Max ® — — Blue Max ® 2000 is a neutral basic flux designed for welding the more difficult
2000 stainless steels such as 347 and 2205 as well as nickel-based alloys. Maximum
toughness and ductility with duplex stainless steels.
Blue Max ® — — Blue Max ® 3000 is a chromium alloyed flux for strip cladding where ferrite content
3000 of at least 4 FN is desired with 309L strip on carbon steel in one layer.
Blue Max ® — — Blue Max ® 4000 is a neutral flux designed for cladding, using the electroslag
4000 welding process with stainless steel and nickel based strip electrodes.
ST-100 — — Lincolnweld ® ST-100 is an alloy flux for use with solid stainless steel wires. It is
formulated to compensate for the chromium in the wire that is not recovered in
the weld deposit.

Submerged Arc Wire & Flux
Blue Max ® stainless steel wires are designed for use in submerged arc welding, both with chromium-compensating
fluxes like ST-100, and with highly basic unalloyed fluxes like 880, 882, 801, 802 and Blue Max ® 2000.
