The PowerWeld MIG WIRE ER308L is designed for welding low carbon molybdenum-bearing austenitic alloys. It features a lower carbon content of 0.03% maximum, which helps resist carbide precipitation and weld corrosion. With a tensile strength of 88,000 psi and a yield strength of 58,000 psi, this wire provides excellent performance in gas-shielded welding processes, yielding a smoother bead due to its higher silicon content of 0.65-1.00%.

• Welds low carbon molybdenum-bearing austenitic alloys.
• Lower carbon content (0.03% maximum) resists carbide precipitation that can cause weld corrosion.
• Higher silicon content (0.65-1.00%) improves the wetting and washing behavior of the weld metal.
• Produces a smoother bead in the gas-shielded welding process.
• Ideal for TIG and MIG welding of unstabilized steels such as types 301, 302, 304, 305, and 308.
• Provides good resistance against intergranular corrosion caused by carbide precipitation.
• Most popular grade among stainless steels for general purpose applications.
