Key Features & Benefits

Superior Corrosion Resistance: Contains molybdenum for enhanced resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion by non-oxidising acids. Applications
The
SIFSteel 316L TIG rod
is an excellent choice for industries where high strength and exceptional corrosion resistance are paramount.
- Food Preparation Areas: The high grade of stainless steel is perfect for use in hygienic environments.
- Marine Applications: The corrosion resistance is ideal for use in saltwater or harsh marine conditions.
- Chemical and Nuclear Industries: Suitable for joining molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel in corrosive chemical and nuclear environments.
- Pipe and Plate Fabrication: Commonly used for general fabrication of various stainless steel structures.
Reduced Weld Decay: The low carbon content minimises the risk of carbide precipitation, preventing intergranular corrosion (weld decay) in the heat-affected zone.
Versatile Application: Suitable for a variety of applications, including the fabrication of pipe and plate in demanding industries.
Consistent and Reliable Welds: Formulated to produce strong, consistent, and reliable welds.
