‌ER308L Stainless Steel Welding Wire – Low-Carbon Excellence for Corrosion-Resistant Welding‌

‌Product Overview‌

ER308L is a premium low-carbon austenitic stainless steel welding wire, meticulously designed for Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW/MIG) and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW/TIG) processes. With its ultra-low carbon content and optimally balanced ferrite levels in the austenitic matrix, ER308L delivers exceptional weldability, superior crack resistance, and outstanding corrosion protection. This wire eliminates the need for post-weld heat treatment, making it the ideal choice for fabricating corrosion-resistant containers, pipelines, and critical industrial components.

‌Key Features & Benefits‌

• ‌Ultra-Low Carbon Content (<0.03%)‌: Minimizes carbide precipitation, significantly reducing intergranular corrosion susceptibility and enhancing weldability.

• ‌Optimized Ferrite-Austenite Balance‌: Improves crack resistance while maintaining excellent mechanical properties, ductility, and impact strength.

• ‌Superior Corrosion Resistance‌: Provides robust protection against oxidation, acids, and aggressive media, ensuring long-term durability in harsh environments.

• ‌No Post-Weld Heat Treatment Required‌: Simplifies fabrication, reduces costs, and accelerates project timelines.

• ‌High-Quality Weld Aesthetics‌: Produces smooth, spatter-free beads with minimal defects, ideal for visible or critical applications.

• ‌Broad Material Compatibility‌: Specifically designed for welding 304L/304LN and 308L stainless steels, enabling repairs and new fabrication projects.

‌Applications‌

• ‌Chemical & Petrochemical Equipment‌: Tanks, reactors, and piping systems exposed to corrosive substances.

• ‌Food Processing & Pharmaceutical Plants‌: Sanitary vessels, tubing, and equipment requiring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

• ‌Marine & Offshore Structures‌: Components subjected to saltwater, humidity, and aggressive environmental conditions.

• ‌Architectural & Decorative Elements‌: Railings, facades, and ornamental features where aesthetics and durability are paramount.

• ‌Industrial Machinery‌: Parts exposed to wear, heat, or chemical exposure.

‌Technical Specifications‌

• ‌Standards Compliance‌: Meets AWS A5.18 ER308L, EN 440 S308L, and ISO 14341-A-G 19 9 2 specifications.

• ‌Wire Diameters‌: Available in 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 1.2mm, and 1.6mm for precision and productivity.

• ‌Packaging‌: Supplied in 2kg spools, 5kg spools, or 15kg reels to suit operational needs.

‌Important Usage Guidelines‌

1. ‌Shielding Gas Requirements‌:

• Use CO₂ purity of ‌99.98% or higher‌ to ensure weld integrity and prevent porosity.

• Maintain gas flow rate at ‌≥20 L/min‌ for wire diameters of 1.2mm and 1.6mm.

2. ‌Environmental Conditions‌:

• Ensure welding areas are ‌shielded from drafts‌ (e.g., using windbreaks or enclosures) to prevent gas disruption and defects.

3. ‌Surface Preparation‌:

• Thoroughly clean welding surfaces of ‌oil, moisture, grease, and contaminants‌ using appropriate solvents or mechanical methods.

‌Why Choose ER308L?‌

• ‌Proven Reliability‌: Trusted for consistent performance in critical corrosion-resistant applications.

• ‌Cost-Efficient‌: Reduces rework and maintenance with high-quality, crack-free welds.

• ‌Operational Flexibility‌: Works with standard MIG/MAG and TIG equipment, simplifying integration into existing workflows.

‌Ideal for industries demanding corrosion resistance, durability, and operational efficiency, ER308L empowers manufacturers to achieve superior results with confidence.
