OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade 308L Flux-Cored Stainless Wire

The Exocor 308L Flux-Cored MIG Wire is a premium consumable designed for high-performance joining of austenitic stainless steels. Engineered to meet AWS E308LT1-1 and E308LT1-4 classifications, this wire provides exceptional versatility in industrial environments. It is specifically formulated for welding Type 304 and 304L base metals, as well as Type 308 and 308L, offering a low carbon content that minimizes carbide precipitation and enhances resistance to intergranular corrosion.

This 0.045-inch diameter wire is supplied on a 28lb spool, optimized for continuous heavy-duty fabrication. Unlike solid wires, the flux-cored design supports higher deposition rates and superior arc stability, even when welding out-of-position. The slag system is designed to be self-peeling in many applications, significantly reducing downtime associated with post-weld cleaning and grinding. It operates effectively with either 100% CO2 or a 75% Argon / 25% CO2 shielding gas blend, allowing shops to utilize existing gas supplies without compromising weld quality.

Ideally suited for the chemical processing, food and beverage, and petrochemical industries, this wire delivers deep penetration and sound X-ray quality welds. The vacuum-sealed packaging ensures low moisture hydrogen levels upon opening, critical for preventing porosity in sensitive stainless applications.

FAQ

This wire is designed to run on either 100% CO2 or a mixture of 75% Argon and 25% CO2. 100% CO2 provides deeper penetration, while the mix offers a smoother arc.

It typically meets the requirements for AWS A5.22 E308LT1-1 and E308LT1-4.

No, you should use 316L wire for 316 stainless. This 308L wire is designed for 304 and 308 grade stainless steels.

Yes, knurled drive rolls are highly recommended. Since flux-cored wire is tubular and softer than solid wire, smooth rolls can slip or crush the wire if over-tightened.

Use DCEP (Direct Current Electrode Positive), also known as Reverse Polarity, for this gas-shielded flux-cored wire.

Yes, this is an all-position wire. The fast-freezing slag supports the puddle well in vertical-up and overhead positions.

Flux core offers higher deposition rates, better penetration, and can be more forgiving on slightly dirty material compared to solid wire.

If kept in its original vacuum-sealed packaging, it has a long shelf life. Once opened, it should be stored in a dry environment to prevent moisture pickup.
