The Bonarc ER316L is a premium austenitic stainless steel TIG welding rod designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial fabrication involving AISI 316 and 316L base metals. This filler metal is characterized by its specific alloy composition, which includes Molybdenum (typically 2.0-3.0%). The addition of Molybdenum is critical as it significantly enhances the weld metal’s resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in environments containing chlorides, such as marine atmospheres or chemical processing plants.<\/p>\n
Classified under AWS A5.9 as ER316L, the ‘L’ designation indicates an extra-low carbon content (maximum 0.03%). This controlled carbon level is essential for preventing sensitization\u2014the formation of chromium carbides at the grain boundaries\u2014during the welding process. By mitigating sensitization, the Bonarc ER316L maintains high resistance to intergranular corrosion, ensuring the longevity and structural integrity of the weldment even in aggressive media. It is also metallurgically compatible with stainless steels stabilized with Titanium (Ti) or Niobium (Nb), provided the operating temperatures do not exceed 400\u00b0C.<\/p>\n
This 2.4mm diameter rod is manufactured to precise tolerances to ensure consistent feeding and arc stability. The deposited weld metal exhibits excellent mechanical properties, including high tensile strength and ductility, matching or exceeding that of the base material. It is the preferred choice for critical applications in the petrochemical, pulp and paper, and textile industries where corrosion resistance is paramount.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bonarc ER316L is an austenitic stainless steel welding wire suitable to weld base metals of similar compositions like AISI 316 and AISI 316L. \n\nThe low carbon content reduces the possibility of intergranular carbide precipitation and increases the resistance to intergranular corrosion. \n\nIt is also suitable for welding steel stabilized with Titanium (Ti) or Niobium (Nb). \n\nSuperior corrosion resistance compared to 308L.","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[1964,1959],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1783952","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-2-4mm","10":"pa_diameter-2-5mm","11":"pa_grade-473","12":"pa_packaging-10lb-tube","13":"pa_packaging-5kg-tube","14":"pa_packaging-description-5kg-tube","15":"pa_polarity-dc","16":"pa_polarity-dcen","17":"pa_weld-process-tig","19":"first","20":"onbackorder","21":"taxable","22":"shipping-taxable","23":"purchasable","24":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1783952","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=1783952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1783952"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1783952"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1783952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
