Stainshield Light


Benefits

Stainshield cylinder
  • Produces smooth, clean, defect-free welds in all grades of stainless steel
  • Produces low distortion, spatter and good fusion. Results in clean, bright welds with a flat profile, reducing post-weld cleaning
  • Provides excellent positional welding characteristics, which are advantageous for fabricating large metal components

Applications summary

  • Commonly used in the MIG welding of components of thicknesses of up to 3mm
  • Suitable for both manual and automatic applications
  • Used for a variety of applications from welding automotive components such as exhausts, to sheet metal components including heating and ventilation ducting
  • Specifically formulated for dip transfer with solid wire, producing minimal spatter

Material specific applications

The following tabled data provides you with a guide to materials and welding processes with which Stainshield Light can be used: 

  • Austenitic, ferritic, martensitic and duplex stainless steels
  • Nickel alloys (not Monels)

Austenitic, ferritic, martensitic and duplex stainless steels

Process Typical Use Example Application Benefits
MIG welding Stainshield Light is most widely used in the MIG welding of components in the thickness range of 0.5 mm to 3 mm. The product is suitable for both manual and automatic applications.
  • Automotive components such as exhaust
  • Sheet metal components such as heating and ventilation ducting
Low distortion, spatter and good fusion

Nickel alloys (not Monels)

Process Typical Use Example Application Benefits
MIG welding As with stainless steel Stainshield Light is best used to MIG weld nickel alloys of thickness of 3mm and below. Only the Monel alloys are not recommended with this shielding gas.
