ER308H SS MIG WIRE | FEATURES

ER308H Stainless Steel MIG Welding Wire
  • Provides a high carbon content deposit (0.04% – 0.08%) for high temperature applications.
  • The high carbon deposit provides creep strength and a high tensile strength at elevated temperatures.
  • Solid, corrosion-resistant, chromium-nickel wire for welding austenitic chromium-nickel alloys of the 18% Cr-8% Ni type.
  • Welding process of ER308H SS MIG wire applied to MIG(Metal Inert Gas Welding) or GMAW(Gas Metal Arc Welding).
