The Satin Glide™ 308LHS 0.045” Stainless-Steel Welding Wire in a 45lb spool is able to create welds that exhibit good tensile strength, which lets them handle the jobs that demand resilience against heavy loads and structural stresses.

Satin Glide™ 308L 0.045” Stainless-Steel Welding Wire 45lb Spool

The Satin Glide™ 308L 0.045” Stainless-Steel Welding Wire in a 45lb spool is a strong and reliable austenitic stainless steel filler metal that promotes greater weld strength. Composed of 0.03% maximum carbon, 20-22% chromium, 9.5-11% nickel, and 0.4-0.65% silicon, its lower carbon content helps reduce the possibility of carbide precipitation, which can lead to sensitization and intergranular corrosion.

Applications for Satin Glide™ Welding Wire

Satin Glide™ welding wire is best suited for the following applications:

Agricultural Equipment
Auto Body
Automotive Exhaust
General Fabrication
Heavy Equipment
Pipe Welding
Pressure Vessels
Railcars
Shipbuilding
Structures
Trailers

Advantages of the Satin Glide™ Welding Wire

The Satin Glide™ 308L welding wire is engineered to offer an excellent balance between strength and ductility. In addition to providing unbeatable weldability, this filler metal also provides ideal elongation and impact resistance, ensuring that the welds can endure dynamic forces without cracking or fracturing.

Shielding Gas Blends for Satin Glide^® Welding Wire

When it comes to shielding gas blends, Satin Glide^® can be used with a variety of options, such as:
