ER316L Stainless Steel Wire

Description : This classification is the same as AFM ER316, except for the carbon content. Low carbon (0.03 percent max.) in AFM ER316L reduces the possibility of intergranular chromium carbide precipitation and thereby increases the resistance to intergranular corrosion without the use of stabilizers such as columbium (niobium) or titanium. It is primarily used for welding low-carbon molybdenum-bearing austenitic alloys. AFM ER316L, however, is not as strong at elevated temperature as the columbium (niobium)-stabilized alloys or Type ER316H.
