308LSI MIG Wire is used for welding 304 and 304L grades of stainless steel. It has more silicon content than standard 308L wire, meaning it flows more easily.
- Provides a weld deposit with reduced carbon levels, offering increased resistance to inter-granular corrosion.
- 308Lsi is suitable welding 18/8 (348, 308, 308L) austenitic Stainless Steels. Provides superior corrosion and crack resistance. High Silicon levels improve weld pool fluidity.
- Good corrosion and wear resistance
- Often used in chemical, food and power generation industries
