    HI Inspector Gadget
    I have done some work with a 308L FCAW from Sandvik with CO2 gas, I think the 309L would run as good if not better, Sandvik are a great wire
    a premium wire and gas with GMAW will work well as well particularly with Pulse

    I suggest giving either of these a go (less than 8mm GMAW, more than 10mm thick FCAW as a general rule)

    You should be able to get the electrodes to run OK as well, just keep the bead size down, Chroma are a good electrode I have had some suggest with

    Let me know how ya go

    Hi Inspector Gadget,

    What is the reason you cannot use the TIG process?

    Thanks,
