MIG (GMAW)

ER316LSi Stainless Steel GMAW (MIG) welding alloy

DETAILS

ER316LSi Stainless steel GMAW (MIG) welding wire is primarily used to weld low carbon molybdenum-beaing austenitic alloys. The lower carbon content of .03% max. is used to avoid carbide precipitation. The additional silicon content increases the wetting action and yields a smooth bead.
