E 19 9 L R 3 2 ES308L-16 E308L-17
Characteristics and typical fields of application
Rutile electrode, core wire alloyed, stainless steel. Preferably used for 1.4306 / 304L / 304LN steel
grades. BÖHLER FOX EAS 2-A is noted for its superior welding characteristics and metallurgy.
Can be used on AC or DC. Other characteristics include high current carrying capacity, minimum
spatter formation, self-releasing slag, smooth and clean weld profile, safety against formation of
porosity due to moisture resistant coating and packaging into hermetically sealed tins.
Resistant to intergranular corrosion up to +350 °C.
