ER 308, ER 308L, ER 308LSi Stainless Steel TIG Wire

Which industries and processes are ER 308, ER 308L, and ER 308LSi stainless steel TIG wire most used?

Stainless Steel TIG Wires such as ER 308, ER 308L and ER 308LSi are used in different industries due to their versatility and compatibility with austenitic stainless steel. ER 308 is used mainly in general fabrication and welding jobs where materials like 304 and 304L grades of stainless steels are used for food processing equipment and structures, chemicals, and architectural applications. ER 308L TIG wire is recommended for welding 304L stainless steel where severe corrosion resistance and weld appearance are required, such as in pharmaceutical equipment, dairy processing and marine applications.

Thus, ER 308LSi has better flow ability and appearance than the welding electrodes mentioned above. It is more suitable for precise welding, such as in automobile, aerospace, and medical equipment manufacturing, where surface appearance and precision are important. These TIG wires are essential in many industries that require welding of austenitic stainless steels to produce sound welds with excellent corrosion characteristics.
