ER308 SS MIG WIRE | FEATURES
- This filler metal is the most popular grade among stainless steels
- Balanced chromium and nickel levels provide enough ferrite in the weld for high resistance to hot cracking
- Solid, corrosion-resistant, chromium-nickel wire for welding austenitic chromium-nickel alloys of the 18% Cr-8% Ni type.
- Welding process of ER308 SS MIG wire applied to MIG(Metal Inert Gas Welding) or GMAW(Gas Metal Arc Welding).
