Selectarc UP 316L

This low carbon solid wire, designated ER316L, is specifically formulated for submerged arc welding of stainless steels, including 316, 316L, and occasionally 304 and 304L grades. It offers a wide service temperature range, suitable for applications from -120°C to +400°C. The wire’s composition ensures excellent weldability and mechanical properties, making it a versatile choice for various industrial applications. This product conforms to AWS A5.9, ISO 14343-A and S 19 12 3 standards.

This wire is primarily used in demanding environments requiring robust corrosion resistance, such as boiler fabrication, piping systems, pressure vessels, power plants, chemical and petrochemical industries, refineries, and food processing facilities. It is ideal for welding stainless steel components where high temperatures and potentially aggressive chemical exposures are present. The provided welding parameters offer a starting point and should be adjusted based on specific application requirements and welding techniques.
