Stainless Steel Welding Wire – Grade 316 / 316L / 316LSi

Thermal Spray 316SS/SS316L/ta-fa 85T Wire for Corrosion Resistance for flame spraying

Stainless steel coating HVOF HVAF

Product Introduction:

316 stainless steel wire specifically designed for arc spraying. It produces a dense, well-bonded coating with excellent machinability and wear and corrosion resistance. 316 SS is widely

 used for machine element repair, dimensional restoration and wear resistance applications. It has high shrink characteristics and should not be used for coatings over 0.075 inched thick.

Surface Preparation:

Surface should be clean, white metal, with no oxides(rust), dirt, grease, or oil on the surface to be coated. Note: It is best not to handle surfaces after cleaning.

Recommended methodof preparation is to grit blast with 24 mesh aluminum oxide, rough grind, or rough machine in a lathe.

Typical Characteristics:

1. AWS A5.9 Classification: ER316 / ER316L / ER316LSi
   Wire Diameters: 0.6 mm – 3.2 mm (0.023" – 1/8")
   Spool Types: 2 kg, 5 kg, 15 kg, 20 kg plastic spool; 250 kg drum; coil weight on request
   Shielding Gas: Pure Argon (TIG) or Ar + 1-3 % O₂ (MIG)
   Surface: Bright finish, clean & copper-free

   Key Features

   • 18 %Cr – 12 %Ni – 2.5 %Mo austenitic chemistry gives excellent resistance to pitting & crevice corrosion, especially in chloride environments
   • Low-carbon 316L variant minimizes risk of inter-granular corrosion; stabilized 316LSi provides extra arc stability and reduced spatter
   • Smooth feedability, stable arc, low fume emission; suitable for all-position welding
   • No post-weld heat treatment required; non-magnetic in annealed condition

   Typical Mechanical Properties (as welded)
   Tensile strength: 550 – 590 MPa (80 – 85 ksi)
   Yield strength: 320 – 350 MPa (47 – 51 ksi)
   Elongation: ≥ 35 %

   Applications
   Chemical & petrochemical equipment, food & beverage processing, pharmaceutical vessels, marine hardware, heat-exchangers, pulp & paper plants, architectural panels, medical devices, automotive exhaust systems—anywhere 316/316L base metals are used and superior corrosion resistance is critical
