* All fields are required
1, Premium low carbon ER308L formula enhances corrosion resistance by minimizing intergranular carbide precipitation in the weld.
2, Versatile 0.030-inch wire is ideal for welding common stainless steel grades, including 304, 304L, 308, 321, and 347.
3, Excellent arc stability provides precise control and minimal spatter for cleaner T-joints, butt welds, and multi-pass applications.
4, Durable stainless steel construction ensures high-grade performance and long-lasting welds in demanding industrial and sanitary environments.
5, Supplied on a robust, 2-pound ABS plastic spool for smooth, reliable feeding and maximum durability during transport and use.
Q: Can I use my standard "MIG Gas" (75% Argon / 25% CO2) with this wire?
Q: Can I use my standard "MIG Gas" (75% Argon / 25% CO2) with this wire?
A: Technically, yes, but your weld will be dark, oxidized, and less corrosion-resistant. For the high-quality results promised by ER308L, you should use Tri-Mix (Argon/Helium/CO2) or at least a 98% Argon / 2% CO2 blend.
Q: Do I need to change my welder's polarity?
Q: Do I need to change my welder's polarity?
A: Yes. Unlike flux-core, this solid wire runs on DCEP (Electrode Positive). Your torch should be (+) and your ground (-) for a stable arc.
Q: Why is my stainless weld rusting? I thought it was stainless!
Q: Why is my stainless weld rusting? I thought it was stainless!
A: This is usually "carbon contamination." If you used a wire brush that you previously used on regular steel, or if you used a standard steel grinding wheel, you embedded carbon into the stainless. Always use dedicated stainless-only tools.
Q: Can I use this .030" wire to weld a stainless kitchen sink?
Q: Can I use this .030" wire to weld a stainless kitchen sink?
A: Yes. The .030" diameter is perfect for the thin gauge metal found in sinks. Use short "tacks" and allow the metal to cool between welds to prevent the sink from warping.
Q: What is the "L" in ER308L?
Q: What is the "L" in ER308L?
A: It stands for Low Carbon. Standard 308 wire has more carbon, which can cause "carbide precipitation" (rusting at the weld grain). The "L" version is the "insurance policy" that the weld stays rust-free.
Q: Do I need a special drive roll for my welder?
Q: Do I need a special drive roll for my welder?
A: It is recommended. Because stainless wire is harder, a V-groove or U-groove roll works best. If you use a knurled roll (designed for flux-core), it can "mar" the wire and cause it to catch inside the contact tip.
