stainless steel MIG welding wire ER316lsi
ER316LSi is a low-carbon, silicon-enhanced austenitic stainless steel welding wire designed for welding 316 and 316L stainless steels. 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.
Standards: AWS A5.9 ER316LSi
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.
Excellent resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and general corrosion, especially in chloride-rich environments such as marine and chemical industries.
Provides high strength and ductility, ensuring the welds can withstand high-stress applications without compromising performance.
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.
