Satin Glide™ 309LHS 0.045” Stainless-Steel Welding Wire 45lb Spool

The Satin Glide™ 309LHS 0.045” Stainless-Steel Welding Wire in a 45lb spool is a strong and reliable filler metal that offers stable and controlled arc ignition that can lead to a high-performing welding experience. Due to this wire’s resistance to rust, oxidation, and chemical corrosion, it’s the best choice for welding applications in harsh and moist 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™ 309LHS welding wire features a higher silicon content, which improves the wash and wetting of the weld metal, potentially increasing the travel speed for a quicker and more efficient job. The wire also features lower carbon content to reduce the risk of carbide precipitation, which in turn reduces the risk of sensitization and intergranular corrosion.

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: ER309Si, ER309LSi
ASME SFA-A5.9: ER309Si, ER309LSi
ASME Section III Nuclear requirements

Stainless-Steel Welding Wire Storage Instructions

Keeping the welding wire in its original sealed package until its ready to use can help prevent the welding wire from being contaminated. It should also be kept in a dry location out of direct sunlight and avoiding excessive heat or extreme cold.
