308LSI Stainless Steel Welding Rod Blue Demon

ER308LSI has the same analysis as ER308L
but with a higher silicon content. The higher
silicon content improves arc stability, bead
appearance and wetting action. ER308LSI
produces exceptionally smooth welds for
applications that require a good cosmetic
appearance. This product is used primarily
with welding grades 304 and 308.
