OVERVIEW

Premium Stainless TIG Welding with Hobart ER316L

When your project demands the highest quality stainless steel welds, trust Genuine Hobart® ER316/ER316L TIG Welding Wire. This 10-pound tube of 1/16-inch cut lengths is the professional's choice for welding 316 and 316L stainless steel. Whether you are repairing kitchen equipment, fabricating brewery tanks, or working on marine hardware, this filler metal delivers the performance and consistency you expect from the Hobart brand.

Stainless steel welding requires precision, and the chemistry of your filler metal makes all the difference. Hobart has formulated this wire with molybdenum to fight off pitting corrosion, ensuring your welds hold up against harsh chemicals and salt. The low carbon content is equally important; it keeps your welds strong and crack-resistant by preventing the grain structure from breaking down over time. This makes it perfect for "sanitary" welds in food and beverage applications where crevices and corrosion cannot be tolerated.

Welders appreciate the attention to detail Hobart puts into their products. Each rod is stamped with its classification, so you never have to guess what you are holding—even if the rods get mixed up on your workbench. The 36-inch length is standard for TIG welding, providing enough material for long runs while remaining easy to manipulate. The wire feeds smoothly into the puddle, wetting out evenly to create aesthetically pleasing welds with minimal post-weld cleaning required.

Don't compromise on your stainless projects. Use the wire that is specified for critical applications in petrochemical and paper industries. With Hobart ER316L, you get a versatile, high-performance rod that helps you lay down perfect beads every time. Pick up a tube today and experience the difference quality filler metal makes.

FAQ

100% Argon is the recommended shielding gas for TIG welding with Hobart ER316/ER316L wire.

While it can physically weld 304, ER308L is the standard filler for 304 stainless. ER316L is specifically designed for 316 stainless to match its molybdenum content and corrosion resistance.

These rods have a diameter of 1/16 inch (approx. 1.6mm) and a length of 36 inches.

Molybdenum is added to increase the weld's resistance to pitting corrosion, which is essential for environments exposed to chlorides or harsh chemicals.

No, this is a solid TIG welding rod (cut length) intended for the GTAW process, not flux-cored wire.

Each 36-inch rod is stamped with the AWS classification and the manufacturing lot number for full traceability.

The 'L' stands for 'Low Carbon'. This reduces the risk of intergranular corrosion (carbide precipitation) in the weld zone.

This product comes in a 10 lb (approx. 4.54 kg) tube.
