DETAILS

ULTRACORE® 316L produces stabilized nitrogen titanium and niobium chemical composition ideal for polished weld bead appearance and smooth arc action with minimal spatter reduces post-weld cleaning during welding operations.

Features

  • Precision layer wound winding delivers steady spool payoff and more consistent feeding
  • Smooth arc action with minimal spatter reduces post-weld cleaning
  • Polished weld bead appearance reduces post-weld brushing

Typical Applications

  • 1.5 – 3% Mo austenitic stainless steel
  • Suitable for Ti or Nb stabilized and nitrogen-bearing versions of the above alloys
  • Applications requiring good resistance to pitting and general corrosion

Welding Positions

  • Flat/Horizontal

Shielding Gas

  • 75% Argon / 25% CO₂ or 100% CO₂
