E308LFC-O
Alloy Type: A5.22, STAINLESS STEEL Flux Cored Arc Welding Electrodes and Flux Cored Rods for GTAW
E308LFC-O is the self-shielding tubular version of solid ER308L stainless steel welding wire. The benefit of using this wire is that it does not require a shielding gas. It may be used for welding all 300 series stainless up to and including 308L. It can be used for welding 430 stainless.
