Thermanit JE-308L Si is a high-alloyed austenitic stainless solid wire. It is used on process plant, heat exchangers, sanitary structures and parts exposed to corrosion.
It joins grades such as 1.4306, X2CrNi19-11, 1.4301, X5CrNi18-10, 1.4311, 1.4312 and 1.4541 together with their equivalents. The wire also serves for cladding carbon steel surfaces, and the deposit has an austenitic structure.

Use brushes and discs kept only for stainless steel, carbon steel particles cause rust staining on the face. Set the gas flow so the pool is covered over the whole length of the bead, and shield the station when you work in wind. Check the contact tip, a worn bore upsets the wire feed and causes burnback.
