308LSi TIG (GTAW)

ER308LSi Stainless steel GTAW (TIG) welding rod is used to weld base metals of similar composition such as 201, 202, 301, 302, 304, 305 and 308 (and L Series). The additional silicon content increases wetting action and yields a smooth bead.

Features

• Stainless steel 308LSi welding rod welds base metals of similar composition
• Restricted carbon content (0.08%) improves mechanical properties
• 90,000 psi tensile strength (as welded)
• 61,000 psi yield strength (as welded)
• 41% elongation; 60% reduction of area (as welded)
• 89 HRB Rockwell B hardness (as welded)
• 180 HB Brinell hardness (as welded)
• 90 ft./lb. @ room temperature Charpy V (as welded)
• Conforms to ANSI/AWS A5.9/A5.9M:2017 & ASME SFA 5.9 ER 308LSi
