5Kg - ER308LSi 1.0mm Stainless Steel MIG Welding Wire – High-Silicon Composition for Smooth Welds
R 835.00
SKU 4-MS308-10-5
ER308LSi is a solid stainless steel MIG wire designed for the GMAW process, suitable for welding austenitic stainless steels such as 304 and 304L. The elevated silicon content improves puddle fluidity, arc stability, and bead contour, making it ideal for high-speed automated welding and precision manual applications. Supplied on a 5kg spool, this 1.0mm wire delivers consistent feed performance, low spatter, and excellent corrosion resistance.
