Product Description
GEE GETIG 308L / ER 308L is an extra-low-carbon austenitic stainless steel filler rod designed for welding 19/10 austenitic stainless steels. Its extra-low carbon content provides excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion.
The weld deposit offers corrosion and scale resistance, good resistance to oxidizing and reducing acids, and is specified as free from porosity. The deposited weld metal meets X-ray/radiographic quality requirements.
