Nakamura Stainless, a top stainless steel manufacturer in Pulau Ujong, Singapore, offers AWS Class ER308/308L SAW and FLUX wires for submerged arc welding. These wires create high-quality welds with excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion. The low carbon “L” grade reduces carbide precipitation, ensuring durability and a long service life. Known for smooth arc performance and high deposition rates, ER308/308L wires produce consistent, strong welds. By following strict international standards, Nakamura Stainless provides reliable consumables suitable for chemical, marine, food, and general industrial applications.
AWS Class ER308/308L SAW and FLUX wires contain 18–21% chromium, 9–11% nickel, and low carbon (≤0.04% for “L”). This low carbon variant improves intergranular corrosion resistance. Weld deposits typically offer tensile strength of about 550 MPa and elongation of 30–35%, ensuring good ductility and toughness. These wires maintain corrosion resistance in moderate chemical environments while providing smooth, consistent weld beads. The stable arc, high deposition rate, and excellent slag detachability make them efficient for welding stainless steels using submerged arc welding processes.
