STAVINOX 318Si

Key Features and Benefits of 318Si Welding Wire

318Si welding wire is made to give stable performance and consistent weld quality in stainless steel fabrication.

• Made For Stabilised Stainless Steels Fits 316Ti and 316Nb grades used in corrosion-resistant applications.
• High Resistance To Crevice Corrosion The weld metal performs well in oxidizing acid environments and extends the service life of welded components.
• Good Mechanical Strength Strong weld joints with dependable tensile strength and ductility.
• Smooth Welding Performance Precision layer winding supports steady feeding and a stable arc.
• Clean Weld Appearance Uniform beads reduce the amount of finishing required.
• Suitable for MIG welding Intended for DC positive welding conditions, for consistent results.

As a result, 318Si welding wire fits fabrication work in which corrosion resistance and strength are critical.
