FAQ

Q: What shielding gas is best for BLUME® ER308LSi?
A: A 98% Argon / 2% CO₂ mix provides the best arc stability and minimal spatter. 100% CO₂ can also be used for deeper penetration.

Q: Can I use this wire for welding 316 stainless steel?
A: No, for 316 stainless, we recommend BLUME® ER316LSi, which has added molybdenum for better corrosion resistance.

Q: How does the increased silicon content improve weld quality?
A: It enhances wetting action, creating smoother, more fluid welds with a cleaner bead appearance and reduced spatter.

Q: Is this wire suitable for robotic welding?
A: Yes! Its consistent feedability and smooth arc characteristics make it perfect for automated and robotic welding systems.
