316 Stainless Steel TIG Rods
AWS CLASSIFICATION ER316L | MOLYBDENUM CONTENT 2–3% | PACKAGE WEIGHT 10–11 lbs | PROCESS TIG (GTAW) | CORROSION RESISTANCE Superior — Chloride/Pitting |
ER316L Stainless Steel TIG Welding Rods are engineered for exceptional performance, particularly renowned for their remarkable corrosion resistance, making them an excellent choice for demanding industries such as food processing and chemical manufacturing. These rods are enhanced with 2–3% molybdenum, which significantly boosts their ability to withstand corrosive environments over traditional chromium-nickel alloys. This addition provides superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion.
Key Features
- Exceptional corrosion resistance engineered for the most demanding industrial environments
- 2–3% molybdenum addition provides vastly superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion vs. standard chromium-nickel alloys
- Outperforms standard austenitic TIG rods in chloride-rich and chemically aggressive environments
- Optimal bead characteristics producing clean, precise welds
- Ideal for high-pressure applications and environments prone to harsh chemical exposures
- Wide diameter range from 0.9mm to 3.2mm available across multiple trusted brands
- Available from CWI, PowerWeld, Atlantic, and Sorex for sourcing flexibility
