E308LT1-1 is a rutile-type flux cored stainless steel welding wire designed for welding 304 and 304L austenitic stainless steels.
It provides stable arc performance, smooth metal transfer, and good slag detachability, making it suitable for both flat and horizontal welding positions.
The low carbon content reduces the risk of intergranular corrosion after welding, ensuring reliable weld performance in mildly corrosive service environments.
E308LT1-1 is widely used in structural stainless steel fabrication, storage tanks, food processing equipment, and general industrial applications.
