Executive 308/308L provides superior weldability, low spatter and smooth beads with easy slag removal. Austenitic stainless steel flux cored wire. Due to the lower carbon content in the weld deposit, it is possible to obtain resistance to inter granular corrosion even though used in as-weld condition.
This wire is designed to be used in the flat/horizontal position. Low carbon in this filler metal reduces the possibility of intergranular carbide precipitation. This increases the resistance to intergranular corrosion without the use of stabilizers such as niobium or titanium. Strength of this low-carbon alloy, however, is less than that of the niobium-stabilized alloys or Type 308H at elevated temperatures.

This is also available in a thin gauge (TG) Executive 308/308LTG in .045" diameter for thin plate welding. It offers wider current ranges (as low as 85 Amps) typically only achieved with costly .035" wire, thus offering a substantial savings.
