The Bonarc ER309L .035″ MIG Wire is a high-grade austenitic stainless steel filler metal designed specifically for the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) process. Manufactured to meet strict AWS A5.9 specifications, this wire features a nominal composition of 24% Chromium and 13% Nickel. The “L” designation indicates a low carbon content (maximum 0.03%), which significantly reduces the risk of intergranular corrosion and carbide precipitation during the welding process, ensuring the longevity and integrity of the weldment in corrosive environments.<\/p>\n
This consumable is engineered primarily for joining dissimilar metals, such as welding Type 304 stainless steel to carbon steel or low-alloy steels. It is also the industry standard for depositing buffer layers on carbon steel prior to cladding with 308 or 316 stainless steel. The higher alloy content of ER309L compared to ER308L allows it to tolerate dilution from mild steel base metals without compromising the metallurgical properties of the weld deposit. This makes it an essential inventory item for fabrication shops dealing with mixed-metal assemblies.<\/p>\n
The 1kg (2.2 lb) spool format is ideal for low-volume applications, maintenance and repair operations (MRO), or for use with spool guns where weight and maneuverability are critical. The wire is precision-wound to ensure tangle-free feeding and consistent electrical contact, resulting in a stable arc and uniform bead profile. Whether used in industrial manufacturing or specialized repair work, Bonarc ER309L delivers reliable mechanical properties and excellent crack resistance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bonarc ER309L is used for welding of 22% Cr-12% Ni STS and dissimilar steels such as 304 to mild steel or low alloy steels.","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[1964,1959],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1783932","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-e309l-17","8":"pa_aws-spec-er309l","9":"pa_brand-bonarc","10":"pa_diameter-0-035-2","11":"pa_diameter-0-035","12":"pa_grade-425","13":"pa_packaging-1kg-spool-2","14":"pa_packaging-2lb-spool","15":"pa_packaging-description-1kg-spool","16":"pa_polarity-ac-or-dc","17":"pa_polarity-dcep","18":"pa_spool-size-1kg-2-2-lbs","19":"pa_weld-process-mig","21":"first","22":"onbackorder","23":"taxable","24":"shipping-taxable","25":"purchasable","26":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1783932","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=1783932"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1783932"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1783932"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1783932"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
