This specific alloy is formulated with a higher silicon content (indicated by the &#8216;Si&#8217; in the classification), which significantly enhances the wetting characteristics of the molten weld pool. The improved fluidity ensures a smoother transition at the weld toes and a flatter bead profile, making it an excellent choice for applications where aesthetic finish and minimal post-weld cleanup are critical.<\/p>\n<p>This wire meets AWS A5.9 specifications for ER308LSi and is suitable for welding AISI grades 301, 302, 304, and 304L. The &#8216;L&#8217; designation indicates a low carbon content (maximum 0.03%), which is essential for preventing carbide precipitation and minimizing the risk of intergranular corrosion in the heat-affected zone. The 1.6mm (1\/16&#8243;) diameter is ideal for heavier fabrication tasks requiring higher deposition rates. Packaged in a 12 kg spool, it is designed for industrial use in automated or manual MIG systems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Typical Chemical Composition:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chromium (Cr): ~19.5-22.0%<\/li>\n<li>Nickel (Ni): ~9.0-11.0%<\/li>\n<li>Silicon (Si): ~0.65-1.00%<\/li>\n<li>Carbon (C): &lt;0.03%<\/li>\n<li>Manganese (Mn): ~1.0-2.5%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bonarc ER308L HiSil is used for welding of 18% Cr &#8211; 8% Ni austenite stainless steels AISI STS 301, 302 and 304.","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[1964,1959],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1783931","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-er308lsi","8":"pa_brand-bonarc","9":"pa_diameter-0-045","10":"pa_diameter-1-6mm-2","11":"pa_grade-308-hisi","12":"pa_grade-308-hisi-2","13":"pa_packaging-25-33lb-spool","14":"pa_packaging-description-12kg-spool","15":"pa_packaging-description-12kg-spool-2","16":"pa_polarity-dc-2","17":"pa_polarity-dc","18":"pa_spool-size-12-kg","19":"pa_weld-process-mig","20":"pa_wire-type-solid-mig-wire","22":"first","23":"onbackorder","24":"taxable","25":"shipping-taxable","26":"purchasable","27":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1783931","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=1783931"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1783931"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1783931"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1783931"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
