308L stainless steel GTAW (TIG) welding alloy is most frequently used for welding base metals of similar composition. The 0.03% maximum carbon content increases its resistance to intergranular corrosion. Conforms to AWS A5.9. Conveniently packaged for point-of-purchase display.

Applications

  • Welding base metals of similar composition

Features

  • Embossed on each end for easy identification after use
  • Welds base metals of similar composition
  • Lower carbon content (.03% max.) resists carbide precipitation that can cause weld corrosion
  • One year warranty
