316L Stainless Steel TIG Rod

316 Stainless Steel TIG Rod

316L is used to weld wrought and cast forms of similar composition, as well as low carbon molybdenum-bearing austenitic alloys. The lower ferrite level of this normal composition reduces the rate of corrosion in certain media and is suitable for use at cryogenic temperature. The presence of molybdenum increases its creep resistance at elevated temperatures.

Each individual rod is stamped with grade for identification

Features:

• High quality filler metal for welding austenitic stainless steel
• Designed for food grade applications, and chemical processing
• Very low carbon content
• Perfect for high temp welding
• Perfect where intergranular corrosion is a concern
• Primarily composed of iron with a small amount of nickel and chromium
• Approximately 16% chromium and 10% nickel
• Produces welds that are both visually pleasing and highly resistant to corrosion
