The Satin Glide™ 308LHS 0.035” Stainless-Steel Welding Wire in a 500lb drum is manufactured with higher silicon content, improving the wetting of the material. This potentially offers higher travel speeds for an increase in productivity.

Satin Glide™ 308LHS 0.035” Stainless-Steel Welding Wire 500lb Drum

The Satin Glide™ 308LHS 0.035” Stainless-Steel Welding Wire in a 500lb drum a reliable choice that is typically used for welding equipment and components made with 304-type stainless steel. The low carbon content reduces the possibility of carbide precipitation, which can lead to sensitization and intergranular corrosion. This is incredibly beneficial for welding applications in corrosive environments as it allows you to maintain the integrity of the weld while preventing corrosion-related issues.

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™ 308LHS welding wire offers greater versatility and ductility. In addition to the lower carbon content, this wire is manufactured with higher silicon content, which is designed to improve the wetting of the material, offering potentially higher travel speeds. The proprietary lubricant that is embedded within the wire enhances its performance for a smoother and more efficient welding operation.

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:

Short Circuit Transfer: 90% Helium, 7-1/2% Argon, 2-1/2% CO₂
