When your fabrication project calls for joining stainless steel to carbon steel, you need a filler metal designed specifically for the job. The Harris ER309L TIG Rod<\/strong> is the industry standard for these challenging applications. This 10lb tube of 1.6mm (approx. 1\/16″) rods provides the versatility and reliability that professional fabricators trust. Whether you are welding brackets onto a stainless tank or performing maintenance repairs where steel grades vary, this alloy ensures a sound, durable bond.<\/p>\n The “L” in 309L stands for Low Carbon. This is a critical feature that helps maintain the integrity of your weld over time. By keeping carbon content to a maximum of 0.03%, Harris minimizes the risk of carbide precipitation\u2014a common cause of corrosion in stainless welds. This means your work won’t just look good when you finish; it will stand up to the elements and operational stresses longer. The 1.6mm diameter is perfect for fine control, allowing you to manage the puddle effectively on thinner gauge materials without burning through.<\/p>\n At Josef Gas, we know that consistency is key. Harris is a brand synonymous with quality control, ensuring that every rod in the tube feeds smoothly and melts evenly. This product is also an excellent choice for applying a buffer layer before cladding carbon steel with 308 stainless. Stock up with this 10lb tube and be ready for any stainless-to-steel challenge that comes into your shop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Harris\u00ae Stainless Steel TIG 309L welding alloy is similar to 309 except for the lower carbon content, (.03% maximum) which reduces the possibility of carbide precipitation which can cause weld corrosion.","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[1964,1959],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1761537","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","5":"product_cat-all-stainless-mig-tig-electrodes","6":"product_cat-welding-wires-and-electrodes","7":"pa_aws-spec-er309l","8":"pa_brand-harris","9":"pa_diameter-1-6mm","10":"pa_grade-425","11":"pa_packaging-10lb-tube","12":"pa_packaging-description-10lb-tube","13":"pa_polarity-dc","14":"pa_polarity-dcen","15":"pa_weld-process-tig","17":"first","18":"instock","19":"taxable","20":"shipping-taxable","21":"purchasable","22":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1761537","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1761537"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1761537"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1761537"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1761537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
