Review on πŸ”© 308LFC-O X .035 X 1# Spool Blue Demon stainless steel gasless flux cored welding wire by Jeff Prabhu

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Exceeded my expectations

For cored wire, this wire is really good. Of course, you don't get great looking welds like TIG or MIG welding, but I was blown away by how well they came out. I've even successfully welded a vertical, although they don't recommend it. You must be sure that your welder supports DCEP (Positive Electrode). Running DCEN gave me larger, bubble-shaped welds with less penetration. Don't forget to remove the slag when you're done or the welds will look terrible. I put the coil in my machine (Lincoln 210MP) and in 3 trial runs got the settings right and made smooth, consistent welds with minimal spatter. As this was my first SS welding experience I found it too easy. For those who complained, they must have had the wrong settings.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • There are nuances
