MERIH STAINLESS, located in Istanbul, Turkey, stands out as a top manufacturer and supplier of high-quality welding consumables. One of their standout products is the AWS Class ER308/308L MIG and TIG filler welding wire and rod, crafted to meet strict industrial standards. Known for their precision and reliability, MERIH STAINLESS guarantees that their welding wires and rods deliver excellent arc stability, minimal spatter, and outstanding corrosion resistance. Trusted by fabricators around the globe, the company caters to industries that need robust stainless steel welding solutions, providing products that boost productivity and ensure dependable, long-lasting welds for both intricate and everyday welding tasks.
The AWS Class ER308/308L MIG and TIG filler welding wire and rod are primarily made up of chromium (18–20%) and nickel (8–12%), along with iron and a few other alloying elements. The “L” in the name indicates a low carbon content, which helps reduce carbide precipitation during welding and enhances corrosion resistance. These wires and rods boast impressive tensile strength, typically ranging from 580 to 620 MPa, along with good elongation of 35 to 40%. They offer high ductility, toughness, and resistance to oxidation and scaling at elevated temperatures. Their mechanical properties ensure stable welds with minimal distortion, making them perfect for stainless steel fabrication and repair work.
