Vinit Stainless, operating from Chennai, India, is a leading stainless steel welding consumables manufacturer and supplier that provides industrial welding solutions of high quality. Among its specialty products is AWS Class ER308/308L SAW wire and flux, designed for use in submerged arc welding of austenitic stainless steels. With a focus on precision, reliability, and sectoral compliance, Vinit Stainless serves industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, chemical processing, and power generation. The firm guarantees a stable performance of products by following international standards like AWS, ASME, and ISO. Its advanced manufacturing technologies and quality assurance make it a reliable partner in welding technology.
AWS ER308/308L SAW wire is a low carbon stainless steel filler metal that has around 19-21% Chromium and 9-11% Nickel and has a maximum content of 0.03% carbon. Due to the low carbon, carbide precipitation is reduced, hence increasing resistance to intergranular corrosion. When used with neutral or slightly alkaline SAW fluxes, it ensures excellent weld bead shape, slag detachment, and arc stability. The usual mechanical features are tensile strength of about 550 MPa, yield strength greater than 350 MPa, and elongation more than 30%, and hence it is suitable for demanding uses in corrosive and elevated temperature environments.

Alloy ER308/308L SAW and Flux are used in submerged arc welding for stainless steel, providing high-quality, strong welds with excellent corrosion resistance and a clean, slag-free finish.
AWS A5.9 ER308/308L SAW and Flux Welding Wire is designed for submerged arc welding of stainless steel, offering high-strength welds, superior corrosion resistance, and a smooth, slag-free finish.
AWS Class ER308/308L Submerged Arc Welding Flux provides excellent arc stability and weld quality, producing clean, slag-free welds with high corrosion resistance and strength for stainless steel applications.
ER308/308L SAW wire and flux find extensive application in submerged arc welding of 18Cr-8Ni austenitic stainless steels, particularly Types 304 and 304L. Uses are in the fabrication of tanks, pipes, heat exchangers, and structural equipment in industries such as dairy, food and beverage, chemical processing, pharmaceutical, and pulp & paper. Low carbon content of its flux reduces to the minimum risk of intergranular corrosion, even for extended service. Optimum for single and multi-pass welds, the duo offers high productivity in automatic and mechanized welding processes. It also works well for overlay welding and joining dissimilar stainless steel parts where corrosion resistance is critical.
