Stainless steel continuous & cut length solid welding wire for MIG/TIG welding
CLASSIFICATION : AWS/SFA-5.9: ER316L, EN 12072 19 12 3 L
DIN 8556: WK. 1.4430
CHARACTERISTICS : ER316L is austenitic Stainless steel low carbon welding wire of 18 Cr%, 12 Ni% and 2 Mo%. The weld metal contains ferrite and resistance to crack is extremely good. Low carbon assists austenitic arc stability and improves corrosion resistance such as intergranuler type. The mechanical properties of the weld metal are good.
APPLICATION : ER 316L molybdenum type grade for the MIG,TIG and SA welding of similar type stainless steels. The molybdenum vastly improves the resistance of pitting corrosion, particularly in chloride solutions and the low carbon grades further improves resistance to intergranular corrosion. Suitable for welding SS 316L, SS 318 grades. The weld metal is recommended for high temperature service up to 350°C
SHIELDING GAS : welding with 100% Ar gas Or Ar+2%O2 gas.
