ER308L045X36 - Exocor Executive ER308L .045" TIG Welding Rod - 10lb Tube

Premium Stainless Steel TIG Filler Metal

The Exocor Executive ER308L TIG Rod is a high-performance stainless steel filler metal designed for the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) process. This .045-inch diameter rod is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial fabrication, specifically for joining austenitic stainless steels of the 18% Chromium / 8% Nickel variety, such as AISI Types 304 and 304L. The "L" designation indicates an extra-low carbon content (maximum 0.03%), which is critical for preventing carbide precipitation at the grain boundaries during the welding process. This feature significantly enhances the weld's resistance to intergranular corrosion, ensuring structural integrity even in corrosive environments.

Manufactured to strict quality standards, Exocor Executive rods feature a clean, bright surface finish that promotes smooth feeding and a stable arc. The chemical composition is balanced to provide a ferrite number that minimizes the risk of hot cracking while maintaining excellent ductility and toughness. This makes the ER308L suitable for a wide range of applications, including cryogenic service where impact toughness is essential. The rods are stamped or embossed with alloy identification, providing quality assurance and traceability for code-compliant work.

Packaged in a durable 10lb tube, these 36-inch cut lengths are protected from moisture and contamination, ensuring they arrive ready for high-quality welding. Whether used for piping systems, pressure vessels, or structural components, the Exocor ER308L delivers consistent mechanical properties, including a typical tensile strength of 87,000 PSI and elongation of 36%. It is the preferred choice for professionals requiring reliability and precision in stainless steel fabrication.
