308L (including ER308LSi) is predominately used on austenitic stainless steels, such as types 301, 302, 304, 305 and cast alloys CF-8 and CF-3. For high temperature applications such as in the electrical power industry, the high carbon 308H electrode provides better creep resistance than does 308L. 316L (including ER316LSi) filler metal should be used with […]

Porosity (air bubbles or pin holes in the weld metal) is not only ugly, but it will also significantly weaken the weld joint. Here’s a checklist to help you diagnose what is causing the problem: 1) Check the Polarity The wrong polarity will cause porosity and a host of other problems too. Check that […]

The properties of metals explained Metals and alloys have various mechanical, thermal and electrical properties that set them apart from each other and make them more suited to a particular task. The following properties will need to be considered when welding or selecting a metal for a particular task. Hardness Hardness is a desirable property […]
Welding is not a recent development, but is continually evolving to suit different design and manufacturing requirements. Many joins required to withstand heavy loads were joined using hot riveting, where a red-hot rivet was placed through two overlapping sections of metal and hammered over. As the rivet cooled it contracted, forming a tight join between […]
