Weston Stainless, with its Midland, UK location, is a trusted manufacturer of quality stainless steel welding consumables offering sound solutions for industrial use. Of its high-end products, AWS Class ER317L MIG and TIG filler welding wire and rod are formulated for excellence in corrosion resistance, especially in acidic and chlorides–containing environments. Both products are constructed from low-carbon austenitic stainless steel with higher molybdenum content for better pitting and crevice corrosion resistance. In wire and rod forms, ER317L provides superior weldability and strength and is applicable to severe welding applications where durability and resistance to harsh chemical exposure are needed.
AWS Class ER317L TIG and MIG filler wire and rod consists of about 18-20% chromium, 13-15% nickel, and 3.5-4.5% molybdenum with minimal carbon content (0.03% max) to reduce carbide precipitation. These fillers provide tensile strength of about 600 MPa, yield strength of about 300 MPa, and elongation of 35%. Their physical properties are density of 7.98 g/cm³ and melting range of 1370-1400°C, providing higher mechanical stability. Higher molybdenum content greatly enhances corrosion resistance in highly aggressive conditions, making ER317L a suitable choice for harsh conditions.
