308LSi stainless steel MIG (GMAW) welding wire 0.035 in. x 10 lb. spool
308LSi stainless steel MIG (GMAW) welding wire has similar usage as 308L, but the 0.65-1.00% silicon content improves wash and wetting behavior in the gas shielded welding process. Conforms to AWS A5.9.
Features
- Stainless steel 308LSi MIG welding wire welds base metals of similar composition
