ED Stainless supplies top-quality AWS Class ER308/308L SAW wire and flux systems in Houston, USA, for welding 18Cr-8Ni stainless steels with low carbon content. The 308/308L filler metal is suitable for submerged arc welding of stainless steels where corrosion resistance and minimal intergranular attack are necessary. Our flux enhances arc stability, bead quality, and reduces slag inclusions. ED Stainless’s welding solutions are widely used in tanks, vessels, and piping systems for industries like food processing, pharmaceuticals, and marine fabrication, where hygiene and corrosion resistance are essential.
ER308/308L filler wire has 19–21% Chromium, 9–11% Nickel, and a low carbon content (≤0.03% in 308L). It typically shows tensile strength around 540 MPa and elongation above 35%. The lower carbon in 308L increases resistance to intergranular corrosion without compromising strength. When used with suitable SAW flux, it offers smooth arc characteristics and high deposition rates. These properties make ER308/308L a great choice for welding stainless steels like 304, 304L, and 308L in various structural and hygienic applications.

After the production of AWS Class ER308/308L SAW and Flux, our quality control team conducts thorough checks using both destructive and non-destructive testing methods to ensure the highest standards of performance and reliability. We use advanced techniques to test the products weldability and corrosion resistance. We make sure that it meets the stringent requirements of our clients. Once verified we package the SAW and Flux with the utmost care to avoid any damage during shipping. Timely delivery is our priority and we make sure that the products reach the customer without delay. All relevant documentation is provided to the clients at the time of delivery for complete transparency and assurance.
ER308/308L SAW wire and flux are frequently used for welding 304 and 304L stainless steel components in food-grade processing equipment, chemical storage tanks, architectural projects, and pressure vessels. Their resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion makes them well-suited for welds exposed to mild corrosive environments. The low carbon content ensures stability in places where temperature cycling might happen. These materials often find use in breweries, dairies, water treatment facilities, and pharmaceutical plants where cleanliness and structural integrity are critical. They are also used in marine fabrications needing a balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and weldability.
