DIPTIINOX® ER308H TIG Rod (AWS A5.9): Leading Manufacturer & Exporter for High-Temperature Austenitic Stainless Steel Welding
Dipti Metal Industries is a Leading ER308H TIG Rod Manufacturer and High-Carbon Austenitic Welding Wire Exporter in Mumbai, India, specializing in high-performance AWS A5.9 ER308H GTAW filler metal under the DIPTIINOX® brand. This solid wire is specifically engineered with a controlled carbon range (0.04%–0.08%) to maximize **creep strength** and **stress rupture resistance** in elevated temperature service. It is the ideal consumable for welding high-carbon variants of un-stabilized stainless steels, such as AISI 304H and 308H, widely used in pressure vessels and piping for **power generation** and **petrochemical** industries. As a trusted Stainless Steel TIG Rod ER308H Supplier, we guarantee full conformance to AWS A5.9 for critical industrial applications globally.
DIPTIINOX® ER308H: High-Carbon Filler for Elevated Temperature Service
The AWS A5.9 ER308H TIG Rod is a variant of the standard 308 grade, distinguished by its higher, but controlled, carbon content (H for High Carbon, 0.04%–0.08%). This compositional difference is crucial: the higher carbon level significantly enhances the weld metal's strength at **elevated operating temperatures**, specifically improving its **creep** and **stress rupture properties**. It is therefore the preferred choice for welding H-grade base materials like AISI 304H, 308H, and 347H, which are specified for high-pressure, high-temperature components in power plants, refineries, and chemical processing facilities. The ER308H deposit provides the classic 19Cr-9Ni austenitic structure with added high-temperature stability. Dipti Metal Industries guarantees consistent carbon control in every ER308H rod to ensure the optimal mechanical properties required for demanding hot applications.

ER308H TIG Rod — Frequently Asked Questions
The key difference is the controlled carbon content. ER308H is specifically manufactured to contain 0.04% to 0.08% carbon, which is required for high-temperature service and improved creep strength, compared to the general-purpose ER308 (0.08% max).
ER308H should be chosen when the welded component will operate at sustained elevated temperatures (typically above 400°C / 750°F) and requires superior creep and stress rupture properties. ER308L (low carbon) is chosen for corrosion resistance in room-temperature or moderate temperature applications.
ER308H is ideal for welding high-carbon grades of austenitic stainless steels such as AISI 304H, 308H, and similar compositions that are specified for high-temperature pressure vessel and piping applications.
No. Due to its higher carbon content, **ER308H is generally not recommended for low-temperature or cryogenic applications**. The low-carbon variant (ER308L) is preferred when good low-temperature notch toughness is required.
