308L Stainless steel GMAW (MIG) welding alloy has similar usage as 308, but the 0.03% maximum carbon content increases resistance to intergranular corrosion. Most frequently used for welding base metals of similar composition. Conforms to AWS A5.9.
Features
Welds base metals of similar composition
Lower carbon content (.03% max.) resists carbide precipitation that can cause weld corrosion
Specifications
87,000 psi tensile strength (as welded)
57,000 psi yield strength (as welded)
34% elongation 56% reduction of area (as welded)
85 HRB Rockwell B hardness (as welded)
160 HB Brinell hardness (as welded)
100 ft./lb. @ room temperature Charpy V (as welded)
Applications
Welding base metals of similar composition such as 201,202,301,302,304, 305 and 308 (and L series)
Caution
All parameters are suggested as basic guidelines and will vary depending on joint design, number of passes and other factors.
