Why choose ABRAFIL 309LSi?

1. Applications on dissimilar steels

  • ABRAFIL 309LSi is perfect for welding stainless steel to mild or low-alloy steel.

  • It acts as a buffer layer between two very different materials (e.g. 304L to S235JR).

2. Excellent corrosion resistance

  • Rich in chromium (~23%) and nickel (~13%), it offers excellent protection against oxidation and corrosion, even at high temperatures.

3. Low carbon (L)

  • This considerably reduces the risk of intergranular corrosion, especially in high-temperature environments.

4. Higher silicon content (Si = Silicon)

  • Si improves the wettability of the melt, giving :

    • Smoother weld seams,

    • More fluidity,

    • Fewer projections.

5. For use in manufacturing or repair

  • Very common in boiler making, petrochemicals, maintenance, or the food industry.
