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 |

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.
