Walid Stainless, located in Tunis, Tunisia, has built a solid reputation as a reliable manufacturer and supplier of top-notch stainless steel welding consumables. One of their standout products is the **AWS Class ER316/316L MIG and TIG filler wire and rod**, specifically crafted for high-quality welding of austenitic stainless steels that demand exceptional corrosion resistance, especially in harsh environments filled with chlorides and aggressive chemicals. This filler metal is known for its impressive arc stability, smooth metal transfer, and consistent weld quality, making it a great choice for both manual and automated MIG and TIG welding processes. Walid Stainless is committed to rigorous quality control and follows international standards, catering to various industries including chemical processing, marine, food and beverage, power generation, and construction.
The AWS Class ER316/316L MIG and TIG filler metals are made from low-carbon austenitic stainless steel, primarily consisting of iron, chromium (16–18%), nickel (10–14%), and molybdenum (2–3%). The low-carbon 316L grade helps reduce carbide precipitation, which boosts resistance to intergranular corrosion after welding. In terms of mechanical properties, the weld metal boasts a tensile strength of about 75 ksi (515 MPa) and an elongation of around 35%, providing excellent ductility and toughness. This well-balanced composition ensures that the weld deposits are crack-resistant and fully austenitic, making them suitable for challenging service environments.
