TIG Wire for Austenitic Stainless Steels

Weld Star ER 316L TIG wire is an austenitic stainless steel filler metal with low carbon content to reduce the risk of intergranular carbide precipitation. This increases resistance to intergranular corrosion without requiring stabilising elements such as niobium or titanium.

The presence of molybdenum enhances creep resistance in halide atmospheres, making it ideal for joining and surfacing stainless steels of similar CrNi and CrNiMo compositions, including low-carbon molybdenum-bearing austenitic alloys.

Commonly used in the food processing, dairy, and chemical industries where corrosion resistance and weld integrity are critical.

Key Features

  • Low carbon to reduce intergranular carbide precipitation
  • Enhanced resistance to intergranular corrosion without stabilisers
  • Contains molybdenum for creep resistance in halide atmospheres
  • Suitable for CrNi and CrNiMo stainless steels and cast steels
  • Smooth weld bead and good mechanical toughness

Typical Applications

  • Food processing equipment
  • Dairy industry components
  • Chemical processing plants
  • Surfacing and joining of low-carbon molybdenum-bearing stainless steels

Typical Base Materials

  • All 300 series austenitic stainless steels, mainly low-carbon molybdenum-bearing.

Standards

  • EN ISO 14343-A – W 19 12 3 L
