Description
Flux-Cored Welding Wire for 316L Stainless Steel – High Toughness and Corrosion Resistance
This flux-cored welding wire for 316L stainless steel is designed for joining austenitic stainless steels containing 18%Cr-12%Ni-2%Mo, such as AISI 316 and 316L. With excellent weldability in all positions, it delivers high impact toughness, even at sub-zero temperatures, and outstanding resistance to corrosion in harsh environments.
The wire runs on CO₂ or Ar+20%CO₂ shielding gas with DC(+) polarity, offering a stable arc, low spatter, and smooth bead appearance. It is certified by leading international bodies, making it suitable for offshore, pressure vessel, shipbuilding, and industrial piping applications.
Why use flux-cored wire for welding 316L stainless steel?
Delivers clean welds in all positions (F, HF, H, VU, VD, OH)
Excellent mechanical properties and arc stability
High corrosion resistance due to Mo and low carbon content
Certified for use in shipyards, offshore, and nuclear sectors
Suitable for both CO₂ and mixed shielding gas environments
Recommended applications
Pressure vessels and chemical tanks
Stainless structural welding
Shipbuilding and marine repair
Offshore and energy sector piping
