ER308L SS MIG WIRE | FEATURES

- It is the same as ER308, except for the carbon content.
- This classification dual classification ensures the maximum carbon content is 0.03%
- 0.03% carbon content increases resistance to intergranular corrosion
- The most popular stainless wire for general-purpose applications where corrosion is moderate.
- Welding process of ER308L SS MIG wire applied to MIG(Metal Inert Gas Welding) or GMAW(Gas Metal Arc Welding).
