DW316L-045F - Kobelco Premiarc DW-316L .045 Flux-Cored Stainless Wire 28lb

Smooth Running Flux-Core for Stainless Jobs

If you are tired of the lack of fusion issues common with solid stainless MIG wire or the slow pace of stick welding, the Kobelco Premiarc DW-316L is the upgrade your shop needs. This .045" flux-cored wire is legendary among pipe and vessel welders for its "butter-smooth" arc and incredible ease of use. Unlike solid wire, the flux core supports the puddle, allowing for higher travel speeds and a flatter bead profile that requires minimal grinding.

One of the standout features of the DW-316L is its slag release. In most cases, the slag is self-peeling or comes off with a light tap, leaving behind a bright, shiny weld bead that looks professional with little effort. The spray-like transfer minimizes spatter, keeping your nozzle clean and reducing post-weld cleanup time. It is designed primarily for flat and horizontal fillets, making it a workhorse for structural stainless fabrication and tank manufacturing.

This 28lb spool is designed to fit standard industrial wire feeders. You can run it on straight CO2 if you are looking to save on gas costs, or an Argon/CO2 mix if you want that ultra-smooth performance. It wets out beautifully at the toes, reducing the risk of cold lap. For welders who demand control, speed, and a great-looking finished product, Kobelco DW-316L is the industry standard for stainless flux-cored welding.
