OVERVIEW

Achieve Professional Stainless Welds with Murex 308LSi

When your project demands a flawless finish on stainless steel, reach for the Lincoln Electric Murex 308LSi MIG wire. This .045-inch wire is the go-to choice for professional welders working with common 300-series stainless steels like 304 and 304L. Whether you are fabricating food service equipment, custom automotive exhaust systems, or architectural railings, this wire delivers the performance you need to get the job done right the first time.

What makes the 'Si' in 308LSi so special? It stands for high silicon, and for you, that means a much smoother welding experience. The added silicon helps the molten metal flow out evenly, giving you that desirable flat bead with excellent wash-in at the edges. Say goodbye to lumpy, convex welds that require excessive grinding. You'll notice better arc stability and less spatter, which means less cleanup time and more time burning wire. Plus, the low carbon content ensures your welds remain rust-resistant and durable for the long haul.

Packaged on a standard 33lb spool, this wire is ready for high-volume production or extensive shop work. It feeds reliably through your MIG gun, minimizing frustration and keeping your arc steady. Compatible with standard stainless shielding gas mixes, the Murex 308LSi is versatile enough for both spray transfer on heavy sections and short-circuit transfer on thinner sheet metal. Upgrade your stainless welding game with a wire that works as hard as you do.

FAQ

The 'Si' stands for high silicon. 308LSi has a higher silicon content (0.65-1.00%) than standard 308L. This improves the fluidity of the weld pool, resulting in better wetting action, a flatter bead profile, and smoother tie-ins.

For MIG welding with 308LSi, common shielding gases include 98% Argon / 2% Oxygen or 97% Argon / 3% CO2 for spray arc transfer. For short-circuit transfer, a tri-mix gas (He/Ar/CO2) is often recommended.

Yes, ER308LSi is the standard filler metal for welding 304 and 304L stainless steels. It provides matching corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.

This specific product (SKU ED035603) has a diameter of 0.045 inches (approx. 1.2mm).

This solid MIG wire is designed to be used with Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP), also known as Reverse Polarity.

Yes, when welding with stainless steel wire, it is highly recommended to use a Teflon or plastic liner in your MIG gun to prevent contamination from steel shavings and to ensure smooth feeding.

This product comes on a 33lb (approximately 15kg) spool.

MIG welding generally requires shielding gas, which can be blown away by wind. Therefore, this wire is best suited for indoor shop environments unless wind screens are used.
