Distinctive red coating is uniquely
formulated for outstanding
resistance to moisture pickup and
starting porosity.
Good for all-position welding,
except vertical down.
Controlled ferrite content in weld for
maximum crack resistance.

ADVANTAGE LINCOLN
Designed primarily for submerged
arc welding with basic fluxes that
recover nearly all of the wires
chromium in the weld deposit.
Along with Blue Max 2000 flux,
several Lincolnweld fluxes can be
used; 801, 802, 880, 880M, 882
and ST-100.
WELDING POSITIONS
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
For joining the more common
austenitic stainless steel grades
referred to as 18-8 steels.
ASTM A240 Types 302, 304. 304L.
