Description
The R316L-T1-5 Superoot 2.2mm TIG Wire 5kg is a premium stainless steel filler rod designed specifically for welding 316L and related austenitic stainless steels. Welders trust this wire for its excellent corrosion resistance, especially in environments exposed to chlorides and chemical agents. Its superior weld quality makes it perfect for applications in the food processing, chemical, and marine industries.
This TIG wire features low carbon content to reduce carbide precipitation. This reduction lowers the risk of intergranular corrosion, which can weaken welds after exposure to heat. The wire’s balanced chromium, nickel, and molybdenum composition enhances toughness and ductility. Consequently, welds resist stress and maintain strength under harsh conditions.
With a 2.2mm diameter, this wire feeds smoothly and produces a stable arc, allowing welders to create clean, consistent beads. It works best with DCEN polarity and performs well on thin to medium stainless steel thicknesses.
The 5kg spool size supplies enough filler material for continuous welding projects. It is practical for both workshop fabrication and on-site repair work. Use the R316L-T1-5 Superoot TIG wire for fabricating chemical tanks, piping systems, marine equipment, and food processing machinery.
Furthermore, this wire minimizes welding defects and provides excellent mechanical properties, ensuring durability and long service life. At Fourie Welding & Tool, we supply trusted welding consumables to meet South African industry standards.
