Stainless Steel 316 Filler Wire, commonly designated as ER316 or UNS S31600, is an austenitic stainless steel welding wire used for joining stainless steel components that require enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard stainless steels.
The alloy contains chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, which significantly improve resistance to corrosion, particularly in environments containing chlorides, chemicals, and marine exposure. The addition of molybdenum increases resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, making SS 316 filler wire suitable for aggressive industrial environments.
SS 316 filler wire is commonly used for welding 316, 316L, and similar austenitic stainless steel grades. It is widely utilized in industries such as chemical processing, marine, pharmaceutical, food processing, petrochemical, and construction, where both corrosion resistance and structural strength are essential.
Due to its excellent welding characteristics and resistance to chemical attack, Stainless Steel 316 filler wire is one of the most widely used welding materials for corrosion-resistant stainless steel fabrication.
These properties make SS 316 filler wires highly suitable for welding applications in corrosive and marine environments.
| Element | Composition (%) |
|---|---|
| Chromium (Cr) | 16 – 18 |
| Nickel (Ni) | 10 – 14 |
| Molybdenum (Mo) | 2 – 3 |
| Carbon (C) | 0.08 max |
| Manganese (Mn) | 2 max |
| Silicon (Si) | 1 max |
| Phosphorus (P) | 0.045 max |
| Sulfur (S) | 0.03 max |
| Iron (Fe) | Balance |
The balanced composition ensures excellent corrosion resistance, strong weld performance, and long-term durability.
