308 stainless steel soft wire

Introduction to Stainless Steel 308 Filler Wire

Stainless Steel 308H Filler Wire is a variant with slightly higher carbon content, offering enhanced corrosion resistance due to its increased nickel content. This filler wire is renowned for its ability to resist corrosion while maintaining strength at elevated temperatures, making it easy to maintain. As it undergoes cold working, it becomes progressively more magnetic, which can be an important consideration for specific applications. At Metalfed Engineering, we are recognized manufacturers and suppliers of Stainless Steel Welding Wires, known for their easy cleaning, high durability, and lightweight properties.

Composition and Applications

The composition of SS 308 Filler Wire includes carbon, chromium, nickel, manganese, silicon, sulfur, and phosphorus, with slightly lower chromium content than its counterparts. One of the reasons this material is preferred for high-quality street furniture is its ability to retain an attractive appearance and robust performance over the years. Stainless Steel UNS S30809 TIG Filler Wires are particularly valued for their good weldability, wear resistance, and fatigue resistance.

Despite its advantages, the susceptibility to carbide precipitation during welding can limit the use of Stainless Steel UNS S30800 Filler Wires in certain applications. However, our products find widespread use across various sectors, including stamping, spinning, automotive, and radar antennas, as well as in automotive trim, bottling machines, and food processing equipment. The SS 308H MIG Filler Wire is versatile, available in forms suitable for applications such as springs and cables.

Manufacturing and Properties

Our ER-308H Stainless Steel Filler Wires are typically utilized in the annealed condition, known for their ease of manufacture and malleability. This makes them an ideal choice for various welding applications. Additionally, when considering flexibility and versatility, the use of 308 stainless steel soft wire is recommended for projects requiring a reliable and adaptable solution. The combination of durability and performance ensures that our stainless steel filler wires meet the highest industry standards.
