Stainless Steel ER316LSi Filler Wire

This SS ER316Lsi filler wire comprises iron, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, silicon, and a small amount of manganese. The iron content gives the wire welding properties needed to obtain strong welds with excellent corrosion resistance. Chromium maximizes the alloy's creep and general corrosion resistance; it is also essential for its polishability. Nickel increases toughness at high temperatures and enhances the widespread atmospheric corrosion resistance of the wire. Molybdenum increases overall strength and provides higher tensile strength than other austenitic grades, while silicon improves wetting behavior in joint surfaces aiding fusion during welding operations. Manganese further contributes to increased impact strength when required. Together these chemical components provide ER316Lsi with extreme flexibility as a construction material that withstands harsh environments while providing a strong bond between materials via welds.

Stainless steel ER316Lsi filler wire is widely used in various welding and metalworking applications due to its high strength and corrosion-resistant properties. It is an excellent choice for weldments containing molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steels such as 304 and 316, which often require tough welds that stand the test of time. Additionally, the high silicon content of this particular filler wire provides more excellent wetting action, thus reducing joint undercutting while improving penetration and bead shape. The non-magnetic nature of ER316Lsi offers even further versatility, making it advantageous for specific offshore applications in which magnetic material needs to be avoided. Stainless Steel ER316Lsi filler wire is a formidable choice for most industry needs due to its robust performance characteristics.
