Weston Stainless, based in Midland, UK, is a trusted provider of high-performance stainless steel welding consumables for industrial processes. Among its niche products, AWS Class ER312 MIG and TIG filler welding wire and rod are formulated for optimum strength and crack resistance. Constructed from high chromium and nickel content austenitic stainless steel, these fillers are suited for welding dissimilar metals and restoring worn parts. Available in wire and rod, ER312 offers outstanding mechanical properties with a high strength weld, great tensile strength, and it‘s ideal for extreme applications under hostile conditions.
MIG and TIG AWS Class ER312 filler wire and rod contains around 29% chromium, 9% nickel, and a minor amount of molybdenum with high oxidation resistance and toughness. These fillers provide tensile strength of about 800 MPa, yield strength of about 550 MPa, and elongation of 25-30%. Physical properties are density of 7.9 g/cm³ and melting range of 1400-1450°C, which provides superior thermal stability. The high alloy content provides improved resistance to cracking and makes ER312 suitable for welding hard-to-join materials and high-strength applications.
