An improved version of ER308L with the addition of silicon (Si) to its composition.
Low carbon content, typically below 0.03%. This composition matches the base metal composition of 18/8 stainless steel grades, including 304 and 308.
The addition of silicon (Si) in ER308LSI improves the weld metal’s fluidity and wetting characteristics, resulting in better bead appearance and increased penetration.
Provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it ideal for applications in corrosive environments. The welds retain their corrosion-resistant properties, ensuring the integrity of the welded structure.
It is versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications that involve welding austenitic stainless steels. The improved wetting of ER308Lsi makes it suitable for high speed welding.
Shielding gas for MIG: 98%Ar+CO2 , for TIG: 100%Ar
