- Designed for the welding of common “18-8” austenitic stainless steels,such as type 302, 304, 304L & CF-8
- Petrol Chemical Equipment Manufacturing
- Power Generation Construction
- Food & Beverage Equipment
- Shipbuilding & O-shore
- Transportation Equipment Manufacturing




- AWS A5.4/A5.4M E308-16
- AWS A5.4/A5.4M E308L-16
- Rutile-Basic stainless steel electrode
- Weldable on AC and DCEP polarity
- Excellent weldability in all position welding except vertical down
- High resistance to weld porosity
- Easy slag removal
- PRIMALLOY® JS-308L can produce lower carbon content weld metal with higher resistance to intergranular corrosion
