MIG filler wire for the joining and overlay of stainless steels of similar composition such as AISI 304L. Low carbon content minimises carbide precipitation. Higher silicon content than 308L gives increased fluidity. Classification: BS EN ISO 14343 G 19 9 Si AWS A5.9 ER 308LSi Base materials to be welded: All 300 series austenitic stainless steel, particularly 304, overlay of mild steel (cladding). Joining of austenitic manganese steels (Hadfields). Welding instructions: Shielding gas 5% or 20% carbon dioxide in argon, or 2% argon-oxygen (MIG) 100% argon (TIG). Do not allow the base material to overheat, maintain interpass temperature below 150°C. To see the full range of our welding equipment and consumables, Click Here.
