FLUX CORE WIRE : SOREX : SFC-308L
Gas Shielded Stainless Steel Flux Cored Wire (SFC-308L)
When fabricating austenitic stainless steel structures—such as food processing equipment, sanitary storage tanks, chemical vessels, and architectural piping—welders require filler metals that combine fast travel speeds with strict metallurgical purity. The Gas Shielded Stainless Steel Flux Cored Wire (SFC-308L) series from Thermatech delivers exceptional productivity powered by Sorex SFC-308L manufacturing quality.
Using Sorex SFC-308L (AWS A5.22 E308LT1-1 / E308LT1-4) ensures that weld deposits maintain their full corrosion resistance while significantly cutting down fabrication hours compared to solid MIG or TIG welding. The extra low carbon content in Gas Shielded Stainless Steel Flux Cored Wire (SFC-308L) eliminates carbide precipitation during multi-pass welding runs, preserving the integrity of stainless steel grade 304 and 304L components.
Equipped with a fast-freezing titania slag system, Sorex SFC-308L offers outstanding arc stability in flat, horizontal, vertical-up, and overhead positions. Compatible with economical 100% CO2 shielding gas or 80% Ar / 20% CO2 gas blends, this wire produces smooth, spatter-free weld beads with self-peeling slag. The resulting dense, pore-free weld deposit easily satisfies 100% radiographic non-destructive testing (NDT) standards for sanitary and high-pressure applications.
SFC-308L is a rutile flux cored tubular wire for all positional welding using pure CO2 or Argon CO2 mixed shielding gas. It performs with smooth arc transfer, self-releasing slag, low spatter level, fine ripple and good intergranular corrosion resistance.
Technical Advantages of Gas Shielded Stainless Steel Flux Cored Wire (SFC-308L)
Designed to optimize throughput and joint performance in demanding stainless steel fabrication shops, the Sorex SFC-308L product line offers clear operational advantages:
- High Metal Deposition Rates: Sorex SFC-308L gas-shielded flux-cored wire yields higher deposition efficiency and faster travel speeds than conventional solid wire, reducing total labor costs per meter of joint.
- Superior Resistance to Intergranular Corrosion: Low carbon formulation (C ≤ 0.04%) prevents sensitization and intergranular attack at heat-affected zones (HAZ).
- Self-Detaching Slag & Minimal Spatter: Fast-freezing slag contracts upon cooling, peeling away effortlessly without leaving burn marks or requiring heavy post-weld grinding.
- All-Position Arc Stability: Smooth spray transfer allows operators to maneuver between flat seams and vertical-up joints without puddle sagging or edge undercut.
APPLICATIONS :
Suitable for welding 1896Cr-8%Ni stainless steels. Typical applications include corrosion resistance overlay, joining of common austenitic stainless steel types 301, 302, 304, 304L, stabilised 321, CF-8 and CF-3.
NOTE ON USAGE:
1. Use DC (+) polarity.
2. Maintain a higher welding speed in order to get enough penetration in the down hand welding position.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions About Gas Shielded Stainless Steel Flux Cored Wire (SFC-308L)
Q: Why select Gas Shielded Stainless Steel Flux Cored Wire (SFC-308L) for 304/304L stainless steel fabrication?
A: Gas Shielded Stainless Steel Flux Cored Wire (SFC-308L) matches the chemistry of 304 and 304L stainless steels. The extra low carbon content of Sorex SFC-308L prevents carbide precipitation, protecting the joint against intergranular corrosion while dramatically increasing deposition speed over TIG or solid MIG wire.
Q: What shielding gas is recommended for Sorex SFC-308L flux-cored wire?
A: You can use 100% CO₂ gas for deep penetration and cost savings, or an 80% Argon / 20% CO₂ mixture to achieve lower spatter, smoother spray arc transfer, and a brighter surface finish on your stainless steel beads.
