OVERVIEW

Premium Bonarc ER309L Stainless Steel MIG Wire

The Bonarc ER309L .035" MIG Wire is a high-grade austenitic stainless steel filler metal designed specifically for the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) process. Manufactured to meet strict AWS A5.9 specifications, this wire features a nominal composition of 24% Chromium and 13% Nickel. The "L" designation indicates a low carbon content (maximum 0.03%), which significantly reduces the risk of intergranular corrosion and carbide precipitation during the welding process, ensuring the longevity and integrity of the weldment in corrosive environments.

This consumable is engineered primarily for joining dissimilar metals, such as welding Type 304 stainless steel to carbon steel or low-alloy steels. It is also the industry standard for depositing buffer layers on carbon steel prior to cladding with 308 or 316 stainless steel. The higher alloy content of ER309L compared to ER308L allows it to tolerate dilution from mild steel base metals without compromising the metallurgical properties of the weld deposit. This makes it an essential inventory item for fabrication shops dealing with mixed-metal assemblies.

The 1kg (2.2 lb) spool format is ideal for low-volume applications, maintenance and repair operations (MRO), or for use with spool guns where weight and maneuverability are critical. The wire is precision-wound to ensure tangle-free feeding and consistent electrical contact, resulting in a stable arc and uniform bead profile. Whether used in industrial manufacturing or specialized repair work, Bonarc ER309L delivers reliable mechanical properties and excellent crack resistance.

FAQ

ER309L is primarily used for welding dissimilar metals, such as joining stainless steel (like 304) to mild steel or low-alloy steel.

For MIG welding with ER309L, a mixture of Argon and CO2 (e.g., 98/2 or 90/10) or a Tri-mix (Helium/Argon/CO2) is typically recommended for best results.

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

This is a 1kg (approximately 2.2 lbs) spool, typically used with spool guns or smaller portable MIG machines.

While you can, ER308L is generally the preferred choice for 304-to-304 welding. ER309L is better suited for 304-to-Mild Steel.

The 'L' stands for 'Low Carbon'. This reduces the risk of carbide precipitation and intergranular corrosion.

The wire diameter is 0.035 inches (approx 0.9mm).
