308L TIG stainless steel welding rod φ1.6mm / 5kg / 1000mm

• The 308L TIG stainless steel welding rod is specifically designed for the welding of 18/8 (304 and 304L) stainless steels.
• With a 1.6mm diameter and 1000mm length, this rod provides excellent performance in TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding applications.
• It offers outstanding corrosion resistance and produces smooth, crack-free welds.
• The 308L composition has a low carbon content to minimize carbide precipitation, enhancing resistance to intergranular corrosion.
• Supplied in a 5kg pack, it's suitable for small to medium-scale projects requiring high-quality, reliable stainless steel welds.

The "18/8" value refers to the composition of certain stainless steels, particularly 304 and 304L stainless steel. It indicates the percentage of chromium and nickel in the alloy:

• 18% Chromium: Provides corrosion resistance and durability. Chromium forms a protective oxide layer on the steel surface, making it resistant to rust and oxidation.
• 8% Nickel: Enhances the steel's strength, ductility, and resistance to acidic environments. It also helps the steel maintain its structure under heat and mechanical stress.
