The Bonarc ER316L .030″ (0.8mm) MIG Wire is a high-quality austenitic stainless steel consumable designed for critical fabrication tasks requiring superior corrosion resistance. Formulated with a nominal composition of 18% Chromium, 12% Nickel, and 2-3% Molybdenum, this wire meets AWS A5.9 specifications. The addition of Molybdenum significantly enhances the alloy’s resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in chloride-rich environments such as marine applications or chemical processing plants.<\/p>\n
This “L” grade (Low Carbon) variant ensures a maximum carbon content of 0.03%, which is crucial for preventing carbide precipitation during the welding process. This feature minimizes the risk of intergranular corrosion in the heat-affected zone (HAZ), eliminating the need for post-weld annealing in many applications. The wire is precision-wound on a 5kg spool, ensuring consistent feedability and stable arc characteristics when used with standard MIG welding equipment.<\/p>\n
Ideally suited for joining AISI 316 and 316L base metals, the Bonarc ER316L also performs exceptionally well on 304\/304L grades where increased corrosion protection is desired. It is compatible with Argon\/Oxygen or Argon\/CO2 shielding gas mixtures, providing excellent wetting action and a clean, high-quality bead profile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bonarc ER316L is used for welding of 18% Cr – 12 Ni – 2% Mo austenite stainless steel (AISI STS 316, 316L).","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[1964,1959],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1783934","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","5":"product_cat-all-stainless-mig-tig-electrodes","6":"product_cat-welding-wires-and-electrodes","7":"pa_aws-spec-er316l","8":"pa_brand-bonarc","9":"pa_diameter-0-030","10":"pa_diameter-2-0mm","11":"pa_grade-473","12":"pa_packaging-10lb-spool","13":"pa_packaging-5kg-spool","14":"pa_packaging-description-5kg-tube","15":"pa_polarity-dc","16":"pa_spool-size-5kg-11lb","17":"pa_weld-process-mig","18":"pa_wire-type-solid-mig-wire","20":"first","21":"instock","22":"taxable","23":"shipping-taxable","24":"purchasable","25":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1783934","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1783934"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1783934"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1783934"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1783934"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
