Description
The ER308LSi 2.0mm TIG Wire 5kg is a high-silicon stainless steel filler wire designed for precise and clean TIG welding of 304 and 304L stainless steel. Thanks to its added silicon, this wire improves weld puddle fluidity and enhances bead appearance. As a result, it’s perfect for food-grade equipment, piping systems, tanks, and stainless steel structures where aesthetics and corrosion resistance are key.
Because it has low carbon content, ER308LSi helps prevent carbide precipitation during welding. That means you get better corrosion resistance over time, especially in humid or acidic environments. The silicon content not only improves wetting action but also creates a smoother finish with less spatter. This makes cleanup easier and results in visually cleaner welds.
The 2.0mm diameter allows for high control during manual TIG welding. It’s especially useful for working on thin stainless steel sections or complex designs. Whether you’re building commercial kitchen equipment, handrails, or vessels, this wire delivers excellent results.
You can use ER308LSi with DC+ polarity and most standard TIG welding machines. It performs consistently in both automated and manual welding environments. Furthermore, the 5kg spool is ideal for smaller-scale production or repair work, giving you quality without waste.
Professionals choose this ER308LSi TIG wire for projects where visual finish, weld integrity, and corrosion resistance matter. It’s a smart choice for anyone working in industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, or decorative stainless fabrication.
