Description
The ER316L 1.6mm TIG Wire 5kg is a low-carbon stainless steel TIG filler rod ideal for welding 316 and 316L stainless steels. It’s widely used in marine, food processing, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries where corrosion resistance and weld integrity are critical.
This wire contains molybdenum, which enhances corrosion resistance—especially against chlorides and other aggressive chemicals. The low carbon content in ER316L helps prevent carbide precipitation during welding, maintaining corrosion resistance in heat-affected zones. That makes it suitable for welding equipment exposed to harsh environments, including coastal or acidic conditions.
With its 1.6mm diameter, this TIG wire offers smooth feedability and precise control. Welders appreciate its stable arc, clean bead appearance, and minimal spatter. Whether you’re fabricating stainless tanks, food-grade piping, marine hardware, or architectural components, ER316L performs consistently.
Use this rod with DC+ polarity and clean base materials for best results. The 5kg spool is a convenient size for small fabrication shops, mobile welders, and on-site projects that require high performance without waste. Because of its balanced chemistry, this wire also works well with duplex stainless steel applications where matching corrosion resistance is required.
Professionals choose ER316L TIG wire when weld quality, longevity, and chemical resistance matter. Its superior weldability and excellent mechanical properties make it a go-to wire in environments where hygiene and reliability are non-negotiable.
