You can easily perfect your welds with ease using Satin Glide™ 308LHS 0.045” Stainless-Steel Welding Wire on a 30lb spool. It’s crafted with higher silicon content for improved wetting and lower carbon content to reduce carbide precipitation, ensuring efficient and precise welding.

Satin Glide™ 308LHS 0.045” Stainless-Steel Welding Wire 30lb Plastic Spool

The Satin Glide™ 308LHS 0.045” Stainless-Steel Welding Wire in a 30lb plastic spool is a reliable filler metal that exhibits excellent resistance to rust, oxidation, and chemical corrosion. This type of welding wire creates welds that offer an excellent balance between strength and ductility. Additionally, it provides better elongation and impact resistance to ensure that the welds can withstand dynamic forces without cracking or fracturing.

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 features a chemical composition of 0.03% maximum carbon, 20-22% chromium, 9.5-11% nickel, and 0.7-1% silicon. This addition of increased silicon helps improve the wetting of the material, offering a much smoother and more productive welding experience. This type of filler metal is very effective for dissimilar base metal welding for joining a combination of different materials with ease.

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:
