Application
ER309L has the same qualities as ER309 but with the lower carbon content deemed necessary in many chemical applications. ER309L is preferred over ER309 for cladding over carbon or low alloy steels, or dissimilar joints that are heat treated.

Deposited Chemical Composition % (Typical)
C = 0.019 Mo = 0.15 P = 0.008
Cr = 23.50 Mn = 1.85 S = 0.006
Ni = 12.95 Si = 0.84

 

Mechanical Properties (R.T.) 
Yield Strength 60,500 psi
Tensile Strength 89,000 psi
Elongation 35%
Reduction of Area 60%

Deposited All Weld Metal Properties
Data is typical for ER309L weld metal deposited by Tig using 100% Argon as the shielding gas.

Recommended Welding Parameters
GTAW “Tig Process”
Wire Diameter Amps DCSP Volts Shielding Gas
.035 60-90 12-15 Argon 100%
.045 80-110 13-16 Argon 100%
1/16 90-130 14-16 Argon 100%
3/32 120-175 15-20 Argon 100%

Note: Parameters for tig welding are dependent upon plate thickness and welding position.
Other shielding Gases may be used for Tig welding. Shielding gases are chosen taking Quality, Cost, and Operability into consideration.
