Eagle ER308L Stainless Steel TIG Rod | 308L Filler Rod

Eagle ER308L TIG Rod is recommended for:

304 stainless steel
304L stainless steel
308 stainless steel
General stainless fabrication
Tanks and vessels
Stainless piping
Food-processing equipment
Maintenance welding
Stainless steel repair
General TIG fabrication

Designed for joining similar 300-series austenitic stainless steels where corrosion resistance and clean weld appearance are important.

Clean the weld area thoroughly before welding.

Remove oil, grease, dirt, coatings and surface contamination.
Use a dedicated stainless steel wire brush where mechanical cleaning is required to help avoid contamination from carbon steel.

Use 100% Argon shielding gas for typical TIG / GTAW applications.

Operate on DC Straight [–] / DCEN polarity.

Maintain a short arc and keep the filler rod within the shielding-gas envelope to help protect the molten weld pool from oxidation.

Adjust amperage according to base-metal thickness, joint design and rod diameter.

Eagle ER308L is a low-carbon stainless steel TIG filler rod designed for welding common austenitic stainless steels such as 304 and 304L.

Its low carbon content helps reduce chromium carbide precipitation in the heat-affected zone, helping preserve corrosion resistance after welding.

Why Eagle ER308L TIG Rod?

Low-carbon stainless filler — helps maintain corrosion resistance in welded 300-series stainless steel.

Excellent for 304 stainless — one of the most common stainless TIG filler choices for 304 and 304L.

Clean TIG performance — well suited for applications where weld appearance and control are important.

Versatile fabrication filler — useful for tanks, piping, food equipment, maintenance and general stainless fabrication.

ER308L, ER309L or ER316L TIG?

Choose ER308L for 304/304L and similar stainless-to-stainless applications.

Choose ER309L for stainless-to-carbon steel or other dissimilar-metal joints.

Choose ER316L for 316/316L stainless and applications requiring improved pitting and corrosion resistance.
In simple terms:

ER308L = standard stainless-to-stainless TIG filler
ER309L = dissimilar stainless-to-steel TIG filler
ER316L = molybdenum-bearing filler for higher corrosion resistance

Process: TIG / GTAW
