The team of Application Engineers decided to work with the Avesta FCW 308L/MVR Cryo wire as it is designed for welding austenitic stainless steels of EN 1.4301 / ASTM 304 type with very good corrosion resistance and excellent mechanical properties in cryogenic conditions thanks to its controlled ferrite content.
Avesta FCW 308L/MVR Cryo is designed for all-round welding and can be used in all positions without changing the parameter settings. It offers very good slag detachability and almost no spatter formation.
