1632099820 - ESAB OK Autrod 316LSi Stainless MIG Wire .035 15kg Spool

Smooth Feeding and Exceptional Bead Aesthetics

For professional welders who demand consistency and performance, the ESAB OK Autrod 316LSi .035" MIG wire delivers a superior welding experience. If you have ever struggled with sluggish stainless puddles or ropey beads that require excessive grinding, the "Hi-Silicon" advantage of this wire will be immediately noticeable. The extra silicon in the chemistry makes the puddle more fluid, allowing it to wet out smoothly against the base metal. This means you get a flatter bead with excellent wash-in at the edges, reducing the time you spend cleaning up spatter or grinding down high spots.

ESAB's precision layer winding technology ensures that the wire feeds smoothly through your liner and gun without tangling or bird-nesting, which is crucial for maintaining productivity during long runs. The 15kg (33lb) spool size is the industrial standard, minimizing downtime for spool changes in high-production environments. Whether you are fabricating brewery tanks, commercial kitchen equipment, or architectural railings, this wire provides a stable arc and a clean, professional finish that makes your work stand out.

This wire runs best on DC+ polarity and pairs perfectly with standard stainless shielding gas mixes. It is forgiving enough for positional welding while robust enough for heavy fabrication. When appearance counts as much as strength, the OK Autrod 316LSi is the go-to choice for welding 316 and 316L stainless steels.
