RW 308 Stainless Steel Series for Welding

RW 308 series are austenitic stainless steels for welding. 308L and 308LAWS reduce grain-boundary chromium carbide precipitation through low carbon, supporting corrosion resistance. RW 308LSi improves arc stability, penetration, fluidity, bead appearance. RW 308H suits creep strength and high-temperature performance.
