OVERVIEW

Achieve Superior Stainless Welds with ESAB OK Autrod 308LSi

Take your stainless steel welding to the next level with the ESAB OK Autrod 308LSi MIG wire. This .035" solid wire is a favorite among professional welders for its exceptional playability and bead aesthetics. The "Si" stands for high silicon, which acts as a wetting agent. This means the molten puddle flows out more smoothly towards the toes of the weld, creating a flatter, more attractive bead with less chance of cold lap or lack of fusion. It's the perfect choice when appearance counts just as much as strength.

Designed for welding 304 and 304L stainless steels, this wire features a low carbon content to protect your work against intergranular corrosion—a common issue in harsh environments. Whether you are fabricating food-grade equipment, custom exhaust systems, or architectural structures, the OK Autrod 308LSi delivers the performance you need. The 15kg (33lb) spool size ensures you have plenty of material for large projects, minimizing downtime for spool changes.

Experience the difference of a premium ESAB consumable. The consistent winding and high-quality surface finish of the wire prevent feeding issues and liner clogging, keeping your arc smooth and stable. Pair this wire with a Tri-Mix or Argon/CO2 shielding gas for optimal results. Upgrade your stainless MIG welding game with a wire that works as hard as you do, providing professional results on every pass.

FAQ

The 'Si' stands for high silicon. ER308LSi has a higher silicon content than standard ER308L, which improves the wetting action of the weld puddle, resulting in a flatter bead and smoother tie-ins.

Common shielding gases for ER308LSi include Argon/CO2 mixtures (e.g., 98% Argon / 2% CO2) or Argon/Oxygen mixtures. Tri-mix gases (Helium/Argon/CO2) can also be used for short-circuit transfer.

This spool weighs 15 kg, which is approximately 33 lbs.

Yes, ESAB OK Autrod 308LSi is specifically designed for welding austenitic stainless steels like 304 and 304L.
