OJ316LP-045F - Kobelco DW-316LP 0.045 Stainless Flux Core Wire 28lb Spool

Master Vertical-Up Stainless Welding

Stop fighting gravity and start laying down perfect beads with the Kobelco Premiarc DW-316LP. If you have ever struggled with stainless steel flux-core welding in the vertical-up position, you know the frustration of sagging puddles and convex beads. Kobelco has engineered the DW-316LP specifically to solve this problem. This wire features a specialized flux formulation that freezes quickly, holding the puddle in place and allowing you to stack a flat, professional-looking weld even when fighting an uphill joint.

This 0.045" wire is a workhorse for stainless fabrication. It runs smoothly on both 100% CO2 and Argon/CO2 blends, giving you the flexibility to use the gas you have on hand or optimize for cost. The arc is soft and stable, and the spatter is practically non-existent compared to other wires in its class. When you are done with the pass, the slag lifts off easily—often curling up on its own—leaving you with a shiny, clean weld that requires little to no finishing.

Perfect for pipe welding, tank fabrication, and on-site repairs where positioning the work flat isn't an option, the DW-316LP increases your deposition rate and efficiency. The 28lb spool size ensures you have enough material for long runs, minimizing downtime for spool changes. Upgrade your stainless welding game with the wire built for the professional fabricator.
