Take the frustration out of out-of-position stainless steel welding with Exocor 316LP Flux Core Wire. If you have struggled with the fluidity of solid stainless MIG wire in vertical or overhead joints, this gas-shielded flux core wire is the solution you need. The 0.045-inch diameter is versatile enough for medium-to-heavy plate fabrication, providing a stable arc and a spray-like transfer that minimizes spatter and cleanup time.
One of the standout features of the 316LP is its operator appeal. The slag system is designed to be self-peeling in many instances, or easily removed with light chipping, revealing a bright, shiny weld bead that requires minimal post-weld grinding. This wire is formulated to prevent the "humping" often seen in stainless welding, ensuring smooth tie-ins and professional-looking results. Whether you are repairing food grade tanks or fabricating custom stainless exhaust systems, the arc stability provided by the flux core design makes achieving high-quality welds easier.
This wire requires external shielding gas (Dual Shield). You can run it on straight CO2 for deep penetration and cost savings, or a 75/25 Argon/CO2 mix for a smoother arc and reduced fume generation. The 33lb spool size is perfect for shop use, fitting standard wire feeders. Upgrade your stainless welding process with the productivity and ease of use found in Exocor's 316LP series.
