Walid Stainless, located in Tunis, Tunisia, is a trusted manufacturer and supplier of top-notch stainless steel welding consumables specifically designed for submerged arc welding (SAW) applications. One of their standout products is the AWS Class ER308/308L SAW wire, which works seamlessly with compatible fluxes to create clean, robust, and corrosion-resistant welds on austenitic stainless steels. This dynamic duo guarantees stable arc performance, deep penetration, and a beautiful weld bead appearance, making it perfect for high-productivity, automated welding processes. Walid Stainless is committed to strict quality control and adheres to international standards, catering to various industries such as chemical processing, power generation, shipbuilding, pressure vessel manufacturing, and heavy fabrication.
The AWS Class ER308/308L SAW welding wire is a low-carbon austenitic stainless steel consumable, primarily made up of iron, chromium (19–21%), and nickel (9–11%). The low-carbon 308L grade helps reduce carbide precipitation, boosting resistance to intergranular corrosion after welding. When paired with the right neutral or slightly basic fluxes, the weld metal achieves a tensile strength of around 75 ksi (515 MPa) and demonstrates good elongation, ensuring excellent toughness and ductility. The carefully controlled chemistry and the interaction with the flux lead to sound welds with minimal impurity pickup and consistent mechanical properties.
