For welders who demand precision and aesthetics in their stainless steel projects, the Exocor ER316LSi .045" MIG Wire delivers an outstanding operating experience. Whether you are welding custom marine hardware, brewery tanks, or high-end architectural features, this wire provides the smooth, stable arc you need to lay down perfect beads. The .045" diameter is versatile, offering high deposition rates for thicker sections while maintaining enough control for positional work when using pulsed MIG settings.
The 'Si' in 316LSi stands for high silicon, and you will notice the difference the moment you strike an arc. The molten puddle is more fluid and responsive, wetting out to the edges effortlessly. This characteristic helps eliminate the 'crowned' or ropey appearance often associated with standard stainless wires, leaving you with a professional, flat profile that requires minimal cleanup. The wire feeds smoothly thanks to Exocor's attention to surface finish and spooling quality, ensuring that your arc stays focused exactly where you want it.
This filler metal is the go-to solution for welding 316 and 316L base metals but can also be used for 304 grades when higher corrosion resistance is desired. The low carbon composition protects your work from intergranular corrosion, ensuring the longevity of the weldment. Compatible with standard MIG equipment and shielding gas mixes, this wire is an essential addition to any professional welder's arsenal for high-quality stainless fabrication.
