OVERVIEW

Smooth Feeding Stainless MIG Wire for 304 Steel

Take your stainless steel projects to the next level with the Bonarc ER308L .030" MIG Wire. If you are welding common stainless grades like 304 or 304L, this is the wire you need in your machine. The ER308L classification means it has extra-low carbon, which keeps your welds strong and rust-resistant even in tough environments. It’s perfect for everything from fixing restaurant equipment to building custom automotive exhaust parts or stainless furniture.

One of the biggest frustrations in MIG welding is poor wire feeding, but Bonarc solves this with a high-quality 5kg (11lb) spool that is layer-wound. This ensures the wire comes off the spool smoothly, protecting your liner and contact tip while giving you a steady, consistent arc. You'll notice the difference immediately with low spatter and a bead that lays down flat and clean. Less spatter means less grinding and polishing later, saving you time and effort on finishing work.

This .030" (0.8mm) diameter wire is versatile enough for thin gauge sheet metal but can also handle thicker sections with the right settings. It runs on standard DCEP polarity and works best with an Argon/CO2 mix or a stainless tri-mix gas. Don't compromise on your stainless welds; choose Bonarc ER308L for professional-grade appearance and durability that you can trust for any shop project.

FAQ

For the best results, use a mixture of 98% Argon and 2% CO2. A Tri-mix (Helium/Argon/CO2) can also be used for superior bead appearance and wetting.

No, it is recommended to use ER316L wire for welding 316 stainless steel to maintain the molybdenum content required for corrosion resistance in that grade.

This wire runs on Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP), also known as Reverse Polarity.

The 'L' stands for 'Low Carbon'. This indicates a maximum carbon content of 0.03%, which prevents carbide precipitation and protects against intergranular corrosion.

It is not recommended. For welding mild steel to stainless steel, you should use ER309L wire to prevent cracking and ensure proper dilution.

This product comes on a standard spool weighing 5kg (approximately 11 lbs).

While the weld itself is corrosion-resistant, MIG welding generally requires shielding gas which can be blown away by wind. It is best used indoors or with windbreaks.

This wire has a diameter of 0.030 inches (0.8mm), making it suitable for light to medium gauge stainless steel.
