Walid Stainless, located in Tunis, Tunisia, has built a solid reputation as a reliable manufacturer and supplier of top-notch stainless steel welding consumables. One of their standout products is the **AWS Class ER308/308H SAW wire along with its compatible flux**, specifically crafted for submerged arc welding of austenitic stainless steels that demand high strength and excellent corrosion resistance. This dynamic duo ensures smooth arc performance, deep penetration, and clean, defect-free welds. Walid Stainless is committed to rigorous quality control and follows international standards, catering to industries like chemical processing, power generation, food and beverage, and heavy fabrication, where consistent weld quality and durability are essential.
The AWS Class ER308/308H SAW wire is made from austenitic stainless steel, primarily consisting of iron, chromium (19–21%), and nickel (9–11%). The 308H variant has a slightly higher carbon content, which enhances its strength at elevated temperatures. When paired with the right neutral or basic SAW fluxes, it yields weld metal with a tensile strength of about 75 ksi (515 MPa) and impressive elongation, providing excellent toughness and ductility. The flux plays a crucial role in ensuring smooth arc action, reducing impurity pickup, and minimizing porosity, resulting in high-quality welds.
