ER308/308L TIG Welding Rod – Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Filler with Hot Crack Resistance

ER308/308L TIG welding rod is a low-carbon stainless steel filler metal designed for joining 304 and 304L grades of stainless steel. Its balanced levels of chromium and nickel promote a stable arc and deliver excellent weld quality with reduced risk of hot cracking. With a maximum carbon content of just 0.03%, this rod offers superior resistance to intergranular corrosion—making it ideal for applications where post-weld corrosion resistance is critical.

The dual classification (ER308/308L) provides both strength and flexibility, and makes it suitable for a wide range of fabrication and repair tasks. Each rod is ink jet printed along its entire length for easy identification, ensuring traceability and compliance on the job site.
