Product Details
When you’re welding components that need to hold up in freezing cryogenic conditions, our ER316L Stainless Steel Wire at DZX is the perfect choice. This low-carbon, molybdenum-enhanced wire delivers tough, corrosion-resistant welds for applications like LNG storage tanks and aerospace components. It’s reliable, versatile, and built for precision welding in extreme environments. Let’s dive into what makes our ER316L wire stand out, explore its applications, check out industry trends, and see why DZX is your go-to for welding solutions.
Our ER316L wire is a high-quality stainless steel alloy with 18-20% chromium, 11-14% nickel, 2-3% molybdenum, and a max of 0.03% carbon. The low carbon content prevents carbide precipitation, while the molybdenum boosts corrosion resistance and toughness at sub-zero temperatures, making it ideal for cryogenic applications. It’s perfect for welding 316 stainless steel or joining components in low-temperature environments, delivering strong, durable welds.
We offer ER316L in diameters from 0.023" to 5/32", with spools or cut lengths to fit your project. Each batch is tested to meet AWS A5.9 standards, ensuring consistent performance. Whether you’re using TIG, MIG, or submerged arc welding, this wire works with shielding gases like Argon or Argon/CO2 to produce clean, spatter-free welds. From cryogenic vessels to medical equipment, our ER316L wire is built to handle tough welding challenges with ease.
