About KUNWU Stainless Steel TIG Welding Rods ER316L
ER316L. This classification is the same as ER316, except for the carbon content. Low carbon (0.03 percent maximum) in this filler metal reduces the possibility of intergranular chromium carbide precipitation and thereby increases the resistance to intergranular corrosion without the use of stabilizers such as niobium or titanium. The 2.5 percent molybdenum content of 316L gives the weld deposit excellent corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures against “pitting” that may be caused by sulfuric, phosphoric and acetic acids. This filler metal is primarily used for welding low-carbon molybdenum-bearing austenitic alloys. This low-carbon alloy, however, is not as strong at elevated temperature as the niobium-stabilized alloys or Type ER316H.
