STAINLESS STEEL//ER316LSi

Description

ER316LSi is a low-carbon, silicon-enhanced austenitic stainless steel welding wire designed for welding 316 and 316L stainless steels, as well as dissimilar metals. The addition of silicon improves arc stability, reduces spatter, and results in a smoother, higher-quality weld. With its excellent resistance to corrosion, especially in chloride-rich environments, ER316LSi is widely used in industries that demand both mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.

KEY FEATURES

---

• Low Carbon Content: With carbon content below 0.03%, ER316LSi significantly reduces carbide precipitation during welding, making it ideal for use in high-temperature applications where intergranular corrosion could be a concern.
• Superior Corrosion Resistance: Exceptional resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and general corrosion, particularly in aggressive environments such as marine and chemical applications.
• Good Mechanical Properties: Provides high strength and ductility, ensuring the welds can withstand high-stress applications without compromising performance.
• Perfect for High-Speed Automated Production: The added silicon improves arc stability, reduces spatter, and enhances weld appearance, making it easier to achieve smooth, consistent welds, especially in automated welding processes.
• All position welding
• Suitable for Marine Engineering，Chemical and Petrochemical Industry，Power Generation，Food and Dairy Industry
• Shielding gas: (TIG)100%Ar , (MIG)Ar+1-2%O₂
