Other Details:
ER308LSi MIG wire and TIG rods are designed for welding low carbon 18% Cr - 8% Ni stainless steels
The "L" in ER308LSi stands for low carbon, which reduces the possibility of carbide precipitation and sensitization during welding
These consumables offer excellent corrosion resistance and good mechanical properties
Welding procedures should be followed as per AWS recommendations and material specifications
Suitable shielding gas for MIG welding: 98% Ar + 2% CO2 or pure Ar
TIG welding should be carried out with high-purity argon gas
