Description
The ER308L 1.2mm TIG Wire 5kg is a high-quality stainless steel welding wire made for TIG welding 304 and 304L stainless steels. Welders choose it for its excellent corrosion resistance, clean weld finish, and reliable arc control. It works especially well in industries like food processing, beverage manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and petrochemicals.
This wire contains low carbon levels, which help prevent carbide precipitation. That means better corrosion resistance, especially in environments with high heat or exposure to cleaning agents. If you’re working on tanks, piping, or structural components, ER308L ensures strong, durable welds.
The 1.2mm diameter allows for precise welds on thinner materials. You’ll experience smooth arc starts, consistent bead profiles, and minimal spatter. This not only improves the appearance of the weld but also reduces clean-up time. The 5kg spool makes it ideal for smaller jobs or for teams focused on precision work.
ER308L TIG wire works best with DC+ polarity and is compatible with both manual and automated TIG welding setups. Because of its stable arc and low heat input, it’s also suitable for ornamental stainless steel work where finish quality matters.
You can count on this wire to perform in critical environments where hygiene and corrosion resistance are essential. From dairy equipment to architectural railings, it delivers lasting results.
