When you are laying down dimes on a stainless exhaust or fixing a commercial kitchen counter, you need a filler rod that flows smoothly and leaves a bright, clean bead. Hobart's ER308/308L TIG rod is the go-to choice for professional welders working with the most common stainless grades like 304 and 308. This 1/16-inch rod gives you the control you need for thinner materials, allowing you to manage the puddle without overheating the base metal.
Why choose the dual-certified 308/308L? It gives you the best of both worlds: the strength of standard 308 and the extra corrosion resistance of the 'L' (Low Carbon) grade. This means your welds won't just look good today; they will hold up against rust and corrosion for years to come. The low carbon helps prevent that nasty 'sugaring' or carbide precipitation that can ruin a stainless weld's rust-proofing properties.
This 1-pound tube is perfect for small jobs, repairs, or keeping in your mobile rig without taking up the space of a bulk box. The 36-inch lengths are standard for easy feeding. Just hook up your TIG torch to DCEN (straight polarity), set your flowmeter to pure Argon, and you are ready to weld. Whether you are fabricating custom automotive parts, repairing dairy equipment, or doing general maintenance, this Hobart rod delivers consistent quality you can trust.
