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 a great balance of strength and ductility. Its composition, which includes 0.03% maximum carbon, 20-22% chromium, 9.5-11% nickel, and 0.7-1% silicon, gives our wire the defense needed against the risk of carbide precipitation while also improving the wetting of the weld material, which can enhance the travel speed during the 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
Spray Transfer: 95-98% Argon, 2-5% CO₂
Spray Transfer: 98-99% Argon, 1-2% O₂
Flow rate: 35-50 CFH

All-position welding is possible with Satin Glide^® as long as the correct shielding gas blends, welding process, and welding parameters are used.

Stainless-Steel Welding Wire Industry Standards

Satin Glide^® meets or exceeds several specifications, including:

AWS A5.9/A5.9M: ER308Si, ER308LSi
ASME SFA-A5.9: ER308Si, ER308LSi
ASME Section III Nuclear requirements

Stainless-Steel Welding Wire Storage Instructions

Keep the location in which you store the welding wire both clean and organized. Use racks or storage bins to keep the wire neatly protected. If possible, store the wire off the ground to avoid contact with moisture and any potential contaminants.
