stainless steel MIG welding wire ER308lSi
ER308LSi is a stainless steel welding wire designed for welding 18-8 stainless steels, including grades like 304, 304L. The addition of silicon (Si) in this wire improves its weldability and creates a smoother, cleaner weld. It is particularly suitable for applications that require high weld quality, enhanced resistance to corrosion, and efficient welding in automated production lines.
Standards: AWS A5.9 ER308LSi
Contains less than 0.03% carbon, which minimizes the risk of carbide precipitation and ensures better weld integrity, especially for applications exposed to high temperatures.
Offers strong resistance to general corrosion, including oxidation, making it ideal for industries where rust resistance is crucial.
Produces durable, high-strength welds with good elongation and impact resistance.
The silicon content enhances arc stability, reduces spatter, and ensures smooth, consistent welds, making it an excellent choice for high-speed welding in automated production environments.
