ER 308L

Alloy ER308L Welding data

Weld Process:
Used for Mig, Tig & Submerged arc

Deposited All Weld Metal Properties:
Data is typical for ER308L weld metal deposited by mig using Argon+2% oxygen and Tig using 100% Argon as the shielding gas. Data on Sub-arc is not presented, as sub-arc is dependent on the type of flux used.

Application
ER308L has the same analysis as type 308 except the carbon content has been held to a maximum of. 03% to reduce the possibility of inter-granular carbide precipitation. Ideal for welding Types 304L, 321 and 347 stainless steel. This is a suitable wire for applications at cryongenic temperatures.
