OVERVIEW

Smooth Feeding, Great Looking Stainless Welds

If you are welding 304 stainless and want that "stack of dimes" look with less hassle, the Exocor Executive 308LSi .045" MIG Wire is your go-to spool. The "Si" stands for High Silicon, and for you, that means the puddle flows out better. You get smoother wetting at the edges, a flatter bead that requires less grinding, and a generally faster travel speed. It’s the perfect upgrade from standard 308L if you care about the final appearance of your weld.

We know that fighting with wire feed issues ruins your day. That's why Exocor's Executive line is precision-wound. It feeds smoothly through your gun liner without snagging or tangling, giving you a consistent arc from the start of the 33lb spool to the finish. This wire is formulated to run clean with minimal spatter, keeping your cleanup time down so you can move on to the next joint.

This 0.045" diameter wire is ideal for medium-to-heavy gauge stainless steel projects. Whether you are building custom exhaust systems, repairing kitchen equipment, or fabricating structural stainless components, this wire gives you the penetration and control you need. It works great with standard Argon/CO2 mixes (like C2) or Argon/Oxygen blends, delivering professional results every time you pull the trigger.

FAQ

The 'Si' stands for higher silicon content. This improves the fluidity (wetting) of the weld puddle, resulting in a flatter bead profile and smoother tie-ins compared to standard ER308L.

For ER308LSi MIG wire, a mixture of Argon with 1-2% Oxygen or Argon with 2-5% CO2 is typically recommended to ensure arc stability and proper fusion.

Yes, ER308LSi is the standard choice for welding 304 and 304L stainless steels, providing excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength.

This is a 33lb (15kg) spool. It typically fits standard industrial wire feeders that accept 12-inch diameter spools.

Yes, but 0.045" is a relatively thick diameter for out-of-position welding. Short-circuit transfer or pulsed MIG modes are recommended for vertical and overhead positions.

No, it is a stainless steel alloy designed to resist corrosion. However, contamination from carbon steel tools or improper shielding gas can lead to surface rust.

Use DCEP (Direct Current Electrode Positive), also known as Reverse Polarity.
