AWS Class ER308/308L SAW wire is made from austenitic stainless steel and contains about 18–21% chromium and 9–11% nickel. The low-carbon 308L version helps reduce the chances of intergranular corrosion. When paired with the right SAW flux, the weld metal produced boasts good tensile strength, excellent ductility, and reliable impact toughness. These consumables provide stable arc characteristics, uniform penetration, and consistent mechanical properties, making them versatile across various welding conditions.
