HYW E316LT-1 (316L) Stainless Steel Flux-Cored Welding Wire — All Position

Regular price $146.74 Sale

HYW E316LT-1 (316L) Stainless Steel Flux-Cored Welding Wire is an all-position, gas-shielded, molybdenum-bearing stainless flux-cored wire that delivers superior corrosion and pitting resistance on 316 / 316L stainless. It runs with a stable, low-spatter arc and an easily released slag for a clean bead. Select your diameter and spool size from the options above.

Key Features

  • Available in .035", .045", and 1/16" on 10 lb and 25 lb plastic spools
  • Molybdenum-bearing deposit for superior pitting & corrosion resistance
  • All-position FCAW-G design for out-of-position welding
  • Reasonable ferrite content for crack and intergranular-corrosion resistance
  • Stable arc, low spatter, good bead appearance, easy slag removal
  • Lower welding fume than solid wire, with excellent usability

Ideal Applications

  • Welding low-carbon 18Cr–12Ni–2Mo stainless (316 / 316L)
  • Marine, chemical, and pharmaceutical equipment
  • Tanks and piping exposed to chlorides and acids
  • General corrosion-resistant stainless fabrication

Available Sizes & Recommended Amperage

Diameter Recommended Amperage
.035" (0.9 mm) 125 – 250 A
.045" (1.2 mm) 150 – 300 A
1/16" (1.6 mm) 200 – 400 A

Recommended amperage ranges are general guidelines; optimal settings vary with base-metal thickness, joint design, shielding, and welding position. Keep wire in a dry location and use promptly after opening — flux-cored wire is moisture-sensitive and should not be stored long in high humidity.

⚠ WARNING: This product and the fumes and gases produced when welding it can expose you to chemicals including nickel and hexavalent chromium compounds, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, and manganese, which is known to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
