Ohio-based Hobart, a wholly owned subsidiary of Illinois Tool Works, Inc., announced it has expanded its stainless steel filler metal offering, adding options in solid wire and flux-cored wire. The portfolio of stainless Hobart filler metals also includes stick electrodes and metal-cored wires. Stainless steel filler metals are increasingly used in numerous industry applications, including food and beverage production and storage, petrochemical and medical applications.
Additions to the Hobart stainless product lineup include solid wires now in bulk packaging, with the ER308LSi and ER309LSi wires in .035- and .045-inch diameters available in 550-pound drums.
