Ed Stainless supplies AWS Class ER316/316L MIG and TIG filler welding materials, designed for high-performance applications. Produced at our Houston facility, these wires and rods meet international AWS standards and offer high durability and corrosion resistance. Specifically made for MIG and TIG welding, ER316 and its low-carbon variant ER316L provide cleaner welds and reliable metallurgical stability. Trusted in sectors such as chemical processing, marine construction, and food equipment fabrication, they deliver consistent results in challenging environments. Backed by technical expertise and prompt delivery, Ed Stainless is the top source for precision welding materials.
AWS ER316 and ER316L are made of 16–18% chromium, 10–14% nickel, and 2–3% molybdenum, with ER316L containing low carbon (≤0.03%) to reduce carbide precipitation. These alloys show tensile strength of ≥75 ksi and yield strength of ≥57 ksi, with elongation of 30% or more. The molybdenum increases pitting and crevice corrosion resistance, while low carbon ensures better weld zone stability. Their balanced mechanical properties provide great toughness and ductility, making them suitable for welded assemblies that must endure harsh or cyclical stress conditions.
