Ed Stainless offers AWS Class ER316/316H MIG and TIG filler welding wire and rod made for high-temperature and corrosion-critical applications. Manufactured in Houston, USA, these products provide high resistance to thermal oxidation and carbide precipitation. The ER316H variant features better creep strength at high temperatures. Both filler types comply with AWS standards, ensuring reliable performance in MIG and TIG welding. Widely used in power generation, petrochemical, and high-temperature processing industries, Ed Stainless delivers consistent quality, fast delivery, and technical support to meet strict project requirements across the United States.
AWS ER316/316H filler metals contain 18–20% chromium, 10–14% nickel, and 2–3% molybdenum. The 316H variant has higher carbon (~0.04–0.10%) to improve creep resistance at high temperatures. Typical mechanical metrics include tensile strength ≥75 ksi, yield strength ≥57 ksi, and elongation ≥30%. The higher carbon in ER316H enhances strength retention after long exposure to 500–800 °C, while maintaining corrosion resistance. Both variants provide stable, ductile welds with excellent structural integrity in high-temperature applications, supporting both TIG and MIG processes with reliable performance.
