KEY FEATURES AND APPLICATIONS 316LSi is for welding austenitic stainless steels of type 18 Cr 12 Ni 2.0 Mo or similar molybdenum allotted acid resisting steels. The filler metal is also suitable for welding titanium & niobium stabilized steels such as ASTM 316Ti in cases where the construction is used at temperatures not exceeding 400°C. The higher silicon content improves bead appearance, arc stability and weld metal flow.
Corrosion Resistance
Excellent resistance to corrosion, pitting and intergranular corrosion in general and diluted acidic conditions. The resistance to intergranular corrosion is good in chloridic environments. PRE (Pitting Resistance Equivalent) is 25.
