Vibrant ER308L TIG Weld Wire .035in Rod Thickness 1lb Box Universal Automotive
Vibrant ER308L TIG weld wire delivers reliable filler for welding 304 and 304L stainless steel components in automotive performance applications. This .035 inch diameter rod in a 1 pound box suits exhaust systems manifolds and custom fabrication projects across all vehicles. It produces strong corrosion resistant joints with minimal defects for durable results in high heat environments.
Key Features
- ER308L Alloy Composition: Matches 304/304L base metals for seamless integration and long lasting strength in exhaust and chassis parts
- .035 Inch Diameter: Provides control for welding thin gauge sheets from 22 to 14 gauge without burn through
- TIG Welding Design: Optimized for GTAW process with pure argon gas yielding clean beads low spatter and high ductility
- 1 Pound Spool: Convenient size reduces downtime in the shop with consistent feed and no tangles
- Low Carbon Content: Prevents carbide precipitation ensuring intergranular corrosion resistance after welding
Product Notes
