Features and Applications
Austenitic stainless steel wire that has a low carbon content, which reduces the possibilities of intergranular carbide precipitation, while increasing the resistance to intergranular corrosion without the use of stabilisers such as niobium or titanium.
Increased silicon content promotes weld pool fluidity to give a smooth deposit appearance.
The presence of molybdenum provides creep resistance in a halide atmosphere.
ER 316LSi is slightly magnetic and offers good corrosion resistance.
Ideal for welding low-carbon molybdenum-bearing austenitic alloys, including joining and surfacing of stainless steels type 316, 316L and 316Ti.
High temperature resistance up to 400°C.
Precision layer wound for superior wire feeding characteristics.
Typically used on applications where good corrosion resistance is required, such as in acid media a/o in chlorinated solutions, hot water tanks, architectural and roofing, food processing and chemical industries etc.
