Product Description
Stainless Steel Welding Made Convenient!
E308LFC-O is the self-shielding tubular version of solid ER308L stainless steel welding wire. The benefit of using this wire is that it does not require a shielding gas.
It can be used for welding all 300 series stainless up to and including 308L. It also can be used for welding 430 stainless.
Diameter and Size
E308LFC-O is available in .030" - .045" in 1 pound, 10 pound, and 25 pound spools
Process
FCAW - Flux Cored Arc Welding
No gas required!
Polarity
Unlike other flux cored wires, E308LFC-O runs on DCEP Polarity
Welding Position
E308LFC-O can be welded in the flat and horizontal positions

I may have to try it in different sizes to achieve the results that I want.
The wire worked as advertised. Regardless if the fact that I was using the entirely wrong size wire (.035) for welding ~16gauge 308, is obvious to me that the wire can work. Although I never got it to run a smooth bead on my Millermatic 211 (220v), I kept trying, with constant power and feed adjustments firstly, welding such thin material, some of my best results were achieved when moving quickly enough to push into the puddle with enough heat to cause the electrode to sort of "flash" into the booger left before it. Eventually, I got a number of smooth beads running, but only just in time to burn through my material. I imagine that 1/4" material would come out really great, especially for lap welds. I think that butt welds would be made decent looking, but you would probably blow through the material every few inches if not careful. I think the majority of the difficulty working with this wire is related to the mistaken thought that this wire should be in any way similar to mild steel flux cored. It runs completely differently. I'm guessing that the amount of heat necessary to melt the wire is so different than the amount of heat that the material needs to start pudding, that is just difficulty finding a medium. All in all, the welds may look catawampus, but the wire cures super hard, so weld strength shouldn't likely be an issue. As a matter of fact, be sure not to deposit too much material, as grinding too much of this stuff might frustrate you.(please see attached photos for an explanation of adjustment difficulty, and keep in mind that using incorrect .035 wire for 16gauge 308ss caused the majority of adjustment issues. If I purchase the .030, I will retest, likely with great results)

This wire actually make an interesting puddle and if you get the hang of it, you can actually make a pretty frigging nice weld with it. Like I said, it's not going to win any prizes in the esthetics department, but after getting the hang of this wire, my welds are surprisingly strong. Don't listen to bad reviews of this wire. PRECISION and PATIENCE, and you have a good product!!!
REVISION 1 @ 12/02/2019 - I ordered another spool yesterday and when it arrived, it looked like half the spool was already gone. Check out the pics side by side; Looks not even close to the amount in the listing picture! Is that normal because it's based on weight?? Dunno!!

I was skeptical about this product, but since getting gas here in Orlando is expensive, I thought I'd try this out. It all boils down to your setting. I have a small Lincoln ProMig 140. Nothing special at 110V. After trial and error, I found that this wire feeds best at speed 4.5, maybe 5 out of 10, which is fairly fast. The puddle works best welding straight at the bead and not at an angle or pulling/pushing the weld, and letting the puddle just run and melt as you go fast. I have my welder turned all the way up to D setting for maximum power. Keeping the gun right on the weld, using a fast straight-line motion without stopping works best. I find that if you go slower, it will burn holes in your SS. If you go power bang lower than the highest, it WILL NOT penetrate... so fast and hot is the only way to go. You're not gonna lay down dimes with this unless you have A LOT of patience... but that being said, with a PRECISE hand and a steady motion, you can weld stainless steel using this just fine. DIrty welds aren't that big of a problem. Nothing an angle grinder can't take care of.Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2019
