Corrosion-resistant chromium-nickel welding wire Monolith ER308LSi

AWS A5.9/SFA-5.9: ER308LSi
CSA W48: ER308LSi
EN ISO 14343-A-G 19 9 LSi
Terms of use
  • welding is recommended to be carried out in gas mixtures (Ar+CO2) with direct current of reverse polarity; 
  • precision winding ensures steady wire feeding to the welding area; 
  • increased wire rigidity allows the use of torch with up to 3 m (118 in) line.
Special properties
  • excellent surface condition significantly reduces wire feeding ripples and improves welding stability;
  • guaranteed mechanical properties of the deposited metal and increased corrosion resistance in aggressive environments at temperatures from 196°C (384°F) to 350°С (662°F);
  • high resistance to nitric and other acids was noted;
  • ferrite number (FN) ~ 8;
  • the low carbon content reduces risks of intergranular corrosion formation without the introduction of ferritizers such as niobium and titanium, and the high content of deoxidizers ensures convenience and ease of use in the welding process.
Monolith ER308LSi corrosion-resistant chromium-nickel welding wire is designed for semi-automatic welding of stainless steels of the following grades 03H17N14M2, 03H18N11, 06H18N11, 03H18N10, AISI 304L, AISI 304, AISI 321, AISI 347 and other austenitic steels of class 300. It is widely used in food, pharmaceutical, chemical, woodworking and pulp industries, mechanical engineering, reservoirs and pipelines production.
