Description
The E308HT1-4 1.2mm Flux Core Wire 15kg is a rutile-based stainless steel welding wire specially engineered for welding 304H and other high-temperature austenitic stainless steels. With its enhanced high-carbon formulation, this wire maintains mechanical strength and oxidation resistance even at elevated temperatures—making it ideal for boilers, furnaces, superheaters, and thermal processing equipment.
This E308H flux core wire delivers smooth arc stability, low spatter, and a clean weld bead profile. Because of its flux-cored construction, it performs exceptionally well in slightly breezy environments, reducing the need for perfect shielding gas coverage. Welders appreciate its user-friendly characteristics, especially when working in production environments that demand both quality and speed.
At 1.2mm in diameter, the wire provides steady wire feed and excellent control. It supports flat, horizontal, and limited vertical-up positions, and works optimally with DC+ polarity. The higher carbon content in E308H ensures creep resistance, which is essential in applications involving prolonged exposure to high heat.
The 15kg spool format provides extended run time, reducing spool changes on large projects. Whether you’re working in petrochemical refineries, heat recovery systems, or steam piping installations, this wire delivers consistent results. It’s also a great choice for general fabrication involving 304H stainless components.
In addition, the E308HT1-4 flux core wire offers outstanding corrosion and oxidation resistance. Its microstructure ensures metallurgical stability, even after multiple heating and cooling cycles. That’s why it’s trusted by professional fabricators in South Africa’s power generation and chemical sectors.
