Description
The E307L-T0-3 1.6mm Open Arc Wire 15kg is a reliable flux-cored wire designed for welding dissimilar steels and manganese alloys. It delivers excellent strength, crack resistance, and impact toughness—making it ideal for structural repairs, fabrication, and buffer layers.
This E307L open arc wire contains chromium, nickel, and manganese, which together create a strong, ductile weld. These properties allow it to absorb shock and resist cracking. Therefore, it is often used in high-wear applications such as rail repairs, heavy equipment maintenance, and mining equipment.
Unlike gas-shielded wires, this open arc wire doesn’t require external shielding gas. Its self-shielding flux forms a protective atmosphere around the weld. This makes it perfect for outdoor use, especially in windy or uncontrolled environments.
The 1.6mm diameter allows for deep penetration and strong fusion, even on thick materials. It runs with a stable arc, producing low spatter and smooth, consistent weld beads. Welders appreciate its good slag release and clean finish. In addition, the wire is easy to use in various welding positions.
Each 15kg spool supports extended weld runs, reducing downtime. This makes it suitable for workshops, field jobs, and industrial maintenance tasks. You can use it effectively on high-carbon steels, stainless-to-carbon joints, or where cracking is a concern.
The E307L open arc wire also works well for cladding or creating a buffer layer before applying harder materials. Its versatility makes it a go-to choice when you need reliable performance across different base metals.
