Select 316LSi is a bare stainless steel wire electrode for gas-metal arc welding. This electrode has a nominal composition of 19% Cr, 12.5% Ni, 2.5% Mo and 0.8% Si, with a maximum carbon content of 0.03%. The presence of molybdenum improves resistance to pitting and provides increased creep resistance at elevated temperatures. The higher silicon level improves bead wetting. The low carbon in this alloy minimizes carbide precipitation and makes it more resistant to intergranular corrosion. The increased silicon improves the usability of the electrode during the welding process.
Features
Increased silicon (Si) content compared to grades of similar alloy composition improves bead wetting and arc stability.
Low carbon (C), < 0.03 wt%, minimizes carbide precipitation (sensitization) which makes the weld metal more resistant to intergranular corrosion.
Unique manufacturing techniques provide enhanced arc stability and stable feeding.
