ER316L - TIG Stainless Steel Welding Rod - 36" x 1/16" (1 LB)

ER316L - TIG (GTAW) - STAINLESS STEEL AWS A5.9 Welding Positions: All INTRODUCTION: The main component of ER316L is 18Cr-12Ni-2Mo; it is Stainless steel TIG welding wire. The metal of weld bead has excellent corrosion resistance, heat resistance and excellent crack resistance it has good resistance for acetic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid and salt corrosion because it contains Molybdenum. USES: It is widely used in petrochemical, chemical fertilizer equipment such as 06Cr17Ni12Mo2 (SUS 316) and other materials of welding. It can be used for welding without heat treatment of high Cr steel and various steel welding as well.

Shielding gas: Adopt pure Argon gas. Recommendation flow rate: 9-14L/min (AMP 100-200A), 14-18L/min (AMP 200-300A). 2. Tungsten extension: 3-5mm, Arc length: 1-3mm. 3. Wind speed limited: ?1.0m/s. 4. Use longer backflow of argon shield gas to get better welding result. 5. Mechanic property and metal anti-cracking ability of the welded metal relative by energy pass value on the wire. 6. The welding should be operated in clean surface without rust, moist, oil contamination and dust. The above parameters are for reference purpose and depend on diverse factors. Run tests, evaluate and set your welding parameters before starting the welding job.
