OVERVIEW

Smooth Running Stainless Flux Core for Pro Welders

Step up your stainless game with Exocor's 308L Flux-Cored Wire. If you are tired of the slow travel speeds of stick welding or the lack of penetration with short-circuit solid wire, this .045" flux core option is the solution. It runs with a buttery smooth arc that feels stable and controllable, whether you are welding flat, horizontal, or vertical-up. The flux coating inside the wire creates a protective slag that shapes the bead beautifully, often peeling off by itself as it cools.

This 28lb spool is perfect for production work where stopping to change spools kills momentum. You'll appreciate the versatility—hook it up to 100% CO2 for deep penetration and cost savings, or run it on a mixed gas blend for an even smoother spray-like transfer. It's designed specifically for 304 and 304L stainless steel, the most common grades you'll encounter in kitchens, tanks, and structural supports.

Forget about fighting spatter; this wire is formulated to keep the puddle calm and the spatter low. The 308L chemistry ensures your welds stay rust-free and strong, matching the base metal's corrosion resistance. Make sure you have knurled drive rolls installed to feed this tubular wire without crushing it, and get ready to lay down some of the best-looking stainless beads of your career.

FAQ

This wire is designed to run on either 100% CO2 or a mixture of 75% Argon and 25% CO2. 100% CO2 provides deeper penetration, while the mix offers a smoother arc.

It typically meets the requirements for AWS A5.22 E308LT1-1 and E308LT1-4.

No, you should use 316L wire for 316 stainless. This 308L wire is designed for 304 and 308 grade stainless steels.

Yes, knurled drive rolls are highly recommended. Since flux-cored wire is tubular and softer than solid wire, smooth rolls can slip or crush the wire if over-tightened.

Use DCEP (Direct Current Electrode Positive), also known as Reverse Polarity, for this gas-shielded flux-cored wire.

Yes, this is an all-position wire. The fast-freezing slag supports the puddle well in vertical-up and overhead positions.

Flux core offers higher deposition rates, better penetration, and can be more forgiving on slightly dirty material compared to solid wire.

If kept in its original vacuum-sealed packaging, it has a long shelf life. Once opened, it should be stored in a dry environment to prevent moisture pickup.
