Overview
ER316 Stainless Steel MIG Welding Wire
ER316 Stainless Steel MIG Welding Wire is specifically designed for welding molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steels, such as types 316 and 316L. This wire is well-suited for applications that require resistance to corrosion and pitting in environments exposed to corrosive chemicals or marine conditions. The addition of molybdenum increases the wire's corrosion resistance, particularly against chlorides and other industrial solvents.
Key Features
