OVERVIEW

Precision Welding with Hobart ER316L TIG Rods

Achieve superior weld quality on your stainless steel projects with Hobart's ER316L TIG Welding Wire. This 10lb tube of 1/8-inch rods is the go-to choice for professional welders working with 316 and 316L stainless steel series. Whether you are repairing food service equipment or fabricating custom marine components, this filler metal delivers the smooth wetting action and clean bead appearance that Hobart is known for.

The secret to this wire's performance lies in its specialized formulation. It contains molybdenum, which acts as a shield against pitting corrosion, ensuring your welds hold up against harsh chemicals and salt environments. Additionally, the extra-low carbon content is a game-changer for durability. It prevents the formation of harmful carbides that can weaken the weld over time, giving you peace of mind that your work will stand the test of time without succumbing to intergranular corrosion. This makes it particularly well-suited for multi-pass welding operations where heat input is a concern.

Hobart understands the practical needs of the welder. That is why every single 36-inch rod in this package is stamped with its classification and lot number. No more guessing which rod you grabbed from the bench—you have instant verification right in your hand. This feature is invaluable in busy shops where multiple alloys are used. The 1/8-inch diameter provides excellent deposition rates for thicker materials, allowing you to fill joints efficiently while maintaining control over the puddle.

Packaged in a sturdy tube, these rods stay straight, clean, and ready to use. Use 100% Argon shielding gas with this wire to produce bright, shiny welds with minimal oxidation. From petrochemical plants to brewery tanks, the Hobart ER316L is the reliable solution for high-quality stainless steel TIG welding.

FAQ

For TIG welding with Hobart ER316L, 100% Argon is the recommended shielding gas to ensure a stable arc and clean weld deposit.

The 'L' in ER316L stands for 'Low Carbon'. ER316L has a maximum carbon content of 0.03%, which helps prevent intergranular corrosion (weld decay) compared to standard ER316.

While it is possible to weld 304 stainless with 316L wire, it is generally recommended to use 308L wire for 304 base metals. 316L is specifically designed for 316 series stainless steel.

Yes, each 36-inch cut length is stamped with the AWS classification and the manufacturing lot number for full traceability.

These rods have a diameter of 1/8 inch (approx. 3.2mm) and are 36 inches in length.

Molybdenum is added to the alloy to significantly improve resistance to pitting corrosion, especially in chloride-containing environments.

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