Westward ER308LSi MIG Welding Wire
This Westward ER308LSi stainless steel wire is produced for MIG welding on grades 304L, 304LN and 308L. The 0.023 in diameter on a 2 lb plastic spool feeds through standard GMAW equipment. AWS A5.9 classification confirms the alloy chemistry for stainless-to-stainless joints. DCEP current designation matches common machine settings.
Welders joining thin austenitic stainless sheets
The fine 0.023 in wire suits light-gauge material and lower amperage passes on 304L, 304LN and 308L grades. Shops running thicker plate, higher deposition rates or different stainless families will need a larger diameter or alternative alloy. The 2 lb spool limits uninterrupted run time for high-volume production. Buyers requiring other wire diameters or spool weights should select a different product.
0.023 in diameter on 2 lb spool
Wire diameter of 0.023 in controls heat input and bead profile on thin stainless sections. The 2 lb plastic spool determines how much wire is available before a changeover. Match both figures to your feeder and job requirements before purchasing.

Questions about this item
Does the 0.023 in ER308LSi wire generate excessive heat or fumes during all-day MIG welding?
The wire is rated for 85 ksi tensile strength and 55 ksi yield strength, with a silicon content that helps control spatter and reduces fume buildup during extended DCEP runs.
What equipment must I already own to run this 2 lb spool of 0.023 in stainless MIG wire?
You need a MIG (GMAW) welder set to DCEP polarity, a compatible 0.023 in drive-roll kit, a stainless-steel contact tip, and argon-rich shielding gas for 304L, 304LN and 308L grades.
Will this ER308LSi wire work on the older 304L and 308L stainless parts I keep in the shop?
Yes, the AWS A5.9 ER308LSi classification is formulated for welding 304L, 304LN and 308L stainless to itself, matching the chemistry of those legacy grades.
