ER316L Stainless Wire
Molybdenum-bearing stainless wire for welding 316-type steel with improved corrosion resistance.
Material overview
The Stainless Steel Welding Consumables catalog describes ER316L Stainless Wire as follows: Molybdenum-bearing stainless wire for welding 316-type steel with improved corrosion resistance. Reviewers should evaluate Molybdenum resists pitting and chemical attack, extra low carbon, and good marine and acid service. The grade record lists Marine and offshore, chemical and pharmaceutical, textile and paper, and 316 fabrication among typical applications. The dataset currently includes 12 property records covering chemical composition, mechanical properties, and physical properties. Standards and form records reference A5.9, A5.4, GB/T 17854, and EN ISO 14343 and Solid Wire / GTAW-GMAW Wire and Covered Electrode. Final supply conditions remain subject to specification, inspection, and export-control review.
