Select Arc 0849132 .030" ER308LSi/308Si Select 308LSi Stainless Steel MIG Wire 33 lb 12" Plastic Spool

The Select Arc 0849132 .030" ER308LSi/308Si Stainless Steel MIG Wire is a high-quality solid wire engineered for MIG welding applications involving austenitic stainless steels like 301, 302, 304, 304L, 308, and 308L. Packaged on a 12″ plastic spool and weighing 33 lb, this wire features enhanced silicon content (approximately 0.8%) to promote better wetting action and a more attractive bead profile. Its low carbon content (<0.03%) helps reduce carbide precipitation, minimizing the risk of intergranular corrosion—making it an excellent choice for welding in food service, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing industries.

Designed to deliver smooth feeding and consistent arc characteristics, Select 308LSi performs reliably across flat and horizontal welding positions when used with Argon-based shielding gases and DCEP polarity. It is classified under AWS A5.9 ER308LSi and ER308Si and conforms to ASME and Canadian (CWB CSA W48-23) standards for stainless steel welding consumables.

Key Features:

• Low carbon content for superior corrosion resistance

• Higher silicon for excellent bead appearance and arc stability

• Smooth, stable feeding for consistent weld quality

• Suitable for MIG welding 300-series stainless steels

• 33 lb wire on 12" plastic spool for high-volume applications

This wire is ideal for fabricators who require clean, strong, and corrosion-resistant welds in demanding stainless steel environments.
