316L Tig Filler Wire

ER316L TIG Filler Wire — Superior Corrosion Resistance for Harsh Environments

ER316L is a low-carbon stainless steel TIG filler rod formulated for excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in chloride-rich, chemical, and marine environments. The “L” indicates a maximum carbon content of 0.03%, reducing the risk of carbide precipitation and ensuring long-term durability.

Key Features

• Low Carbon Content – Prevents intergranular corrosion for reliable weld integrity.

• Added Molybdenum – Improves resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in saltwater or chemical exposure.

• Excellent Mechanical Strength – Typical tensile strength of approximately 86,000 psi and yield strength around 57,000 psi with good elongation.

• Smooth Arc & Clean Beads – Provides superior puddle control, minimal spatter, and attractive weld finish.

• Wide Compatibility – Ideal for welding 316/316L stainless steels and joining dissimilar stainless grades.

• Common Diameters – Available in 1.6 mm, 2.4 mm, and 3.2 mm to suit various thicknesses.

• Recommended Shielding Gas – Pure argon for best TIG results.

Ideal Applications

• Marine and offshore structures exposed to saltwater.

• Chemical processing equipment, piping, and storage tanks.

• Food and beverage industry equipment where hygiene and corrosion resistance are critical.

• Architectural and decorative stainless steel work requiring a clean, polished finish.

The 316L TIG Filler Wire offers dependable corrosion resistance, smooth handling, and strong mechanical properties—making it the top choice for stainless steel welding in demanding environments.
