THS-308L/THT-308L (ER308L)
E308L Stainless Steel Welding Wire | Extra-Low Carbon
Application
- Shipbuilding
- Pressure Vessel
- Energy Industry
- Heavy Machinery
DETAILS
THS-308L/THT-308L (ER308L) is a 21%Cr-10%Ni extra-low carbon austenitic stainless steel welding wire. Featuring low carbon content, it offers excellent crack and corrosion resistance alongside outstanding all-position welding usability.
Features
- 21%Cr-10%Ni extra-low carbon austenitic stainless steel formulation
- Low carbon content resists intergranular carbide precipitation and enhances corrosion resistance
- Superior crack resistance and high weld metal toughness
- Excellent all-position welding performance with a stable arc and minimal spatter
Typical Applications
- Pressure vessels, boilers, and high-pressure storage tanks
- Chemical, petrochemical, and fertilizer processing equipment
- Food, beverage, dairy, and pharmaceutical machinery fabrication
- Cryogenic equipment and low-temperature piping systems
Welding Positions
- PA / PB / PC / PD / PE / PF
WARNING
- Rust, oil, moisture, and other contaminants must be removed from the weld zone before welding.
- Shielding gas: Ar + (1%–3%) O₂ is recommended for THS-308L, and pure Ar for THT-308L.
