OVERVIEW

Premium Stainless Steel MIG Wire for Industrial Fabrication

The Bonarc ER308LSi HiSil MIG Wire is a high-quality austenitic stainless steel solid wire designed specifically for the welding of 18% Chromium - 8% Nickel stainless steels. This product carries the AWS classification ER308LSi, where the "Si" denotes a higher silicon content than standard 308L wires. This elevated silicon level improves the fluidity of the molten weld pool, resulting in exceptional wetting properties. Consequently, welders can achieve a flatter bead profile with smoother tie-ins at the toes of the weld, significantly reducing the labor required for post-weld cleaning and grinding.

Engineered for precision and consistency, this 0.030-inch diameter wire is precision-wound on a 15kg spool, ensuring tangle-free feeding during high-volume operations. The "L" in the classification indicates a low carbon content (maximum 0.03%), which is critical for preventing carbide precipitation and maintaining resistance to intergranular corrosion. This makes the wire suitable for applications where the finished product will be exposed to corrosive environments or high temperatures.

This wire is primarily used to join AISI types 301, 302, and 304 stainless steels. It is an excellent choice for fabricating food processing equipment, chemical storage tanks, architectural structures, and general stainless steel manufacturing. The wire performs best with Argon-based shielding gas mixtures, such as Argon/Oxygen or Argon/CO2, providing a stable arc with minimal spatter. Trust Bonarc ER308LSi for reliable, high-strength, and corrosion-resistant welds in your critical stainless steel projects.

FAQ

The 'Si' stands for Silicon. ER308LSi has a higher silicon content (0.65-1.00%) compared to standard ER308L. This improves the wetting action and fluidity of the weld puddle, resulting in a smoother bead and flatter profile.

For MIG welding with ER308LSi, a mixture of Argon with 1-2% Oxygen or 2-5% CO2 is typically recommended to ensure arc stability and good penetration.

Yes, ER308LSi is the standard filler metal for welding 304 and 304L stainless steels.

This product comes on a 15kg (approximately 33 lbs) spool.

This wire is designed for use with Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP), also known as Reverse Polarity.

No, this is a solid MIG wire that requires an external shielding gas.

The 'L' stands for Low Carbon. This indicates a maximum carbon content of 0.03%, which helps prevent intergranular corrosion (carbide precipitation) in the weld zone.

This wire has a diameter of 0.030 inches (0.8mm).
