Steel: 308L Hi-Sil General
Characteristics All-State®
308L Hi-Sil .023 (.6mm) is a smooth drawn, uniform surfaced wire with excellent
welding characteristics. Each
spool is individually wrapped and poly bagged to retain its “stainless”
finish. The addition of silicon to this chrome
nickel alloy significantly increases its wetting action, resulting in a smooth,
evenly rippled weld bead at faster
travel speeds. Typical
Applications Especially
useful in applications where uniform appearance is essential such as appliances,
furniture and hospital, kitchen,
and food processing equipment. For use on stainless steel types 304, 305, 308L,
321, and 347 as well as other
18-9 stainless steels where carbide precipitation may arise.
