ER316L stainless MIG wire .045 in

This 2 lb plastic spool of ER316L welding wire is designed for MIG (GMAW) welding of stainless steel grades 316, 316L, 316LN, 316N and 444. It carries AWS classification ER316/ER316L and is intended for DCEP polarity. The wire diameter is .045 in. As-welded tensile strength is 86 ksi with a minimum yield of 55 ksi.

For fabricators joining matching stainless grades

Welders repairing or fabricating 316-series stainless components will find this wire matches the base metal chemistry. It is not suitable for carbon steel, aluminium, or dissimilar metal joints. Buyers needing flux-cored, TIG rod, or larger diameter wire should look at other products. The spool weight is fixed at 2 lb.

Wire diameter .045 in determines feed

The .045 in diameter sets the required contact tip size, drive roll groove and typical amperage range for a given shield gas. If your machine or procedure calls for a different diameter, this spool will not work correctly. No other size is included in this package.

Questions about this item

What does the 86 ksi tensile strength mean for a finished weld?

The as-welded deposit reaches 86 ksi tensile strength, giving joints that meet the mechanical requirements for 316 and 316L stainless fabrications.

How does the DCEP current designation limit the welding process?

DCEP polarity is required for stable spray transfer with this ER316L wire, so the power source must support electrode-positive output.

What spool dimensions does the 2 lb plastic spool need to fit on my feeder?

The wire comes on a standard 2 lb plastic spool that fits most benchtop and portable MIG feeders with a 4 in or 8 in spindle.
