ESAB ER308LSi MIG is a silicon enhanced MIG wire which significantly increases wetting action, resulting in a smooth weld to improve weldability and performance on 304 steels.
ESAB ER308LSi MIG is a continuous, solid, corrosion-resistant, chromium-nickel wire for welding austenitic chromium-nickel alloys of the 18 Cr- 8% Ni type. The alloy has a low carbon content, making it particularly recommended where there is a risk of intergranular corrosion.
