Weston Stainless in Midland, UK is a reputable stockist of excellent quality stainless steel welding consumables with consistent and reliable solutions across multiple industrial usages. AWS Class ER316/316L MIG and TIG filler welding rod and wire are its specialized items offering superior resistance against corrosion in acid and chloride-dense conditions. The fillers are composed of austenitic stainless steel that has low carbon content to limit carbide precipitation, thereby not allowing intergranular corrosion. In wire and rod forms, ER316/316L is well suited for welding 316 and 316L stainless steel parts, producing tough, resilient welds with improved resistance to crevice and pitting corrosion.
AWS Class ER316/316L MIG and TIG filler rod and wire have about 18% chromium, 12% nickel, and 2-3% molybdenum, with a low carbon level (0.03% max) to avoid carbide precipitation. These fillers have a tensile strength of about 600 MPa, yield strength of about 300 MPa, and elongation of 35%. Their physical properties are a density of 7.98 g/cm³ and a melting range of 1370-1400°C, which provides superior thermal stability. The addition of molybdenum increases corrosion resistance and makes them suitable for extreme industrial conditions.
