OJ308LP-045F - Kobelco DW-308LP 0.045" Stainless Flux-Cored Wire, 28lb Spool

High-Performance Positional Stainless Wire

The Kobelco Premiarc DW-308LP is a premium rutile flux-cored wire designed specifically for welding 18% Cr - 8% Ni stainless steels (AISI 304, 304L). Part of the renowned Premiarc LP (Low Carbon, Positional) series, this wire is engineered to overcome the common challenges associated with out-of-position stainless welding. It meets AWS A5.22 classifications E308LT1-1 and E308LT1-4, offering versatility in shielding gas selection.

This consumable excels in vertical-up and overhead positions, providing a stable arc and a fast-freezing slag system that supports the weld pool effectively. The resulting weld bead is flat and smooth, contrasting with the convex beads often produced by standard wires in vertical applications. The low carbon content ensures resistance to intergranular corrosion, making it suitable for critical industrial applications in chemical processing, food manufacturing, and general fabrication.

Packaged in a 28lb spool, the DW-308LP is designed for high-productivity environments. Its flux formulation minimizes spatter and fume generation, contributing to a cleaner working environment and reduced post-weld cleanup. The slag is often self-peeling, revealing a bright, high-quality weld face underneath.
