308L stainless steel MIG (GMAW) welding wire .045" x 25 lb. spool.
308L stainless steel MIG (GMAW) welding wire has similar usage as 308, but the 0.03% maximum carbon content increases resistance to intergranular corrosion. Most frequently used for welding base metals of similar composition. Conforms to AWS A5.9.
