GM 309LSi

IDENTIFICATION
GM 309LSi, ER 309LSi

CLASSIFICATION
AWS A 5.9 ER 309LSi

DESCRIPTION
Solid wire deposits a 24 % Cr / 13 % Ni austenitic stainless steel weld metal with a ferrite content about FN 12. The high alloy level and high ferrite content enables the weld metal to tolerate dilution from carbon and low alloy steels without hot cracking. Deposited weld metal is of radiographic quality.
