It conforms to the international standard AWS A5.22 R308LT1-5.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n Unlike conventional solid TIG rods, this is a flux-cored TIG rod. The internal flux melts during the welding process to form a protective slag layer over the reverse side of the penetration bead, effectively sealing it from atmospheric oxidation.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n Key Specifications \u0026amp; Applications\u003cbr\u003e\n Target Materials: Engineered for joining low-carbon 18%Cr–8%Ni austenitic stainless steels, primarily AISI 304 and 304L. It is also highly compatible with standard 301, 302, and 308 grades.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n The No-Purge Advantage: Completely eliminates the need for back shielding gas (Argon purging) during single-sided root runs. This saves massive amounts of downtime, setup time for purging jigs, and gas volume expenses.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n Chemical Profile: Contains an extra-low carbon content (? 0.03%) to heavily resist intergranular carbide precipitation and localized corrosion.\u003cbr\u003e\n Welding Parameters: Operates via Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW \/ TIG) using Direct Current Electrode Negative (DCEN) with a 100% Argon torch shielding gas.\u003cbr\u003e\n Common Use Cases: Extensively utilized for root runs in stainless steel process piping systems across breweries, chemical plants, food processing facilities, and oil refineries.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n Operating Technique Restrictions\u003cbr\u003e\n Root Pass Only: Because it produces a slag coating, it is strictly formulated for the initial root pass and must not be used to fill or cap multi-pass joints.\u003cbr\u003e\n Manipulative Speed: Unlike traditional sluggish solid TIG rods, the TG-X rod must be moved quickly at a very short pitch to allow the liquid slag to flow correctly to the back of the root gap and prevent slag inclusions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kobelco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56031592612132,"sku":"KB.TGX308L.T220","price":3050.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/4938\/3716\/files\/kobelco-tgx-308l-2-2mm-tig-filler-wire-500x500_1.jpg?v=1787130481","url":"https:\/\/www.weldtools.in\/products\/kobelco-tgx-308l-x-2-2","provider":"weldtools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
