OVERVIEW

Smooth Running All-Position Stainless Wire

Stop fighting with your puddle and start laying down perfect beads with Lincoln's UltraCore® 308L P. If you are used to the frustration of out-of-position stainless welding with solid wire or the slowness of stick, this 1.6mm flux-cored wire is a game-changer. It is designed to run smooth and hot, giving you a stable spray-like transfer that digs in and wets out flat, even when you are welding vertical-up. The "P" in the name stands for Positional, and it lives up to the hype with a slag system that sets up fast to hold the puddle in place.

One of the best things about this wire is the cleanup. We know that chipping slag can be a nightmare, but UltraCore slag often peels off by itself as it cools, or comes off with a light tap. This leaves you with a shiny, professional-looking bead that requires minimal grinding or polishing. The spatter levels are incredibly low, keeping your nozzle clean and your workpiece looking sharp. Whether you are running on a mix gas for that buttery smooth feel or straight CO2 to save some cash, the arc remains consistent and forgiving.

This 33lb spool is built for production. The 1/16" diameter can handle higher amperages, letting you fill joints faster than you ever could with thinner wires. It is perfect for fabricating tanks, piping, and heavy stainless structures where speed and quality count. Just hook it up DCEP, set your flowmeter, and experience why Lincoln UltraCore is a favorite in shops across the country.

FAQ

You can use either 100% CO2 or a blend of 75% Argon / 25% CO2. The mixed gas typically provides a smoother arc and less spatter.

Yes, the 'P' in UltraCore 308L P stands for Positional. It has a fast-freezing slag system designed specifically for all-position welding, including vertical-up and overhead.

It meets AWS A5.22 classifications E308LT1-1 (with 100% CO2) and E308LT1-4 (with 75% Ar/25% CO2).

Yes, it is designed for welding ASTM 304 and 304L stainless steels, as well as cast equivalents like CF-8 and CF-3.

This wire requires Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP).

Yes, knurled drive rolls are recommended for flux-cored wires to prevent slipping and ensure consistent feeding without crushing the wire.

If the foil bag is undamaged, the wire has an indefinite shelf life. Once opened, it should be stored in a dry environment or rod oven to prevent moisture pickup.

The input data likely contained a labeling error. ER308LSi is a solid wire specification. This product is UltraCore 308L P, which is a flux-cored wire (E308LT1-1/4).
