OVERVIEW

Reliable Performance for Tough Stainless Jobs

When you are up against a welding project involving complex stainless steels in harsh environments, you need a filler metal that won't let you down. The Lincoln Electric ER320LR TIG Rod is built to solve one of the biggest headaches in stainless welding: hot cracking. The "LR" in the name stands for Low Residuals, which means Lincoln has dialed back the impurities like carbon and sulfur that typically cause cracks and fissures in the weld bead. This gives you a smoother, stronger weld that holds up under pressure, saving you time on rework and repairs.

This rod isn't just about strength; it's about surviving the elements. If you are welding tanks, pipes, or equipment that will be exposed to nasty acids like sulfuric or phosphoric acid, this is the rod you want in your torch. It offers excellent corrosion resistance that standard stainless rods can't match. It also stands up to high heat without scaling, making it a go-to choice for heat exchangers and industrial piping systems. You get a clean, controllable puddle that wets out nicely, allowing you to lay down those stack-of-dimes beads that professional TIG welders pride themselves on.

Lincoln Electric also knows that mix-ups in the shop can be a disaster. That is why every single one of these rods features ink-jet printing along the full length. You will never have to guess what rod you just picked up off the bench—the identification is right there. This simple feature helps you maintain quality control and ensures you are always using the right spec for the job. Plus, with the Q2 Lot® certificate, you have proof of the wire's composition if your job requires strict documentation.

These rods come in a convenient 10 lb tube that fits easily on your welding cart or in your truck. The 3/32-inch diameter is a standard size that works well for a wide range of material thicknesses, giving you the versatility to handle different joints with a single package. Whether you are working in a chemical plant, on an offshore rig, or in a custom fab shop, the Lincoln ER320LR gives you the confidence to tackle critical stainless welds knowing your filler metal is up to the task.

FAQ

LR stands for 'Low Residuals.' This indicates that the rod has reduced levels of carbon, silicon, phosphorus, and sulfur to minimize the risk of hot cracking and micro-fissuring.

It is primarily used for welding fully austenitic stainless steels that will be exposed to highly acidic environments, such as those containing sulfuric or phosphoric acid.

Lincoln Electric utilizes ink-jet printing along the entire length of the electrode, clearly displaying the alloy identification to prevent mix-ups.

For TIG (GTAW) welding with this rod, 100% Argon is the standard shielding gas to ensure a clean, stable arc and protect the weld pool.

Yes, the ER320LR alloy is designed to resist high temperatures and scaling, making it suitable for heat exchangers and elevated temperature piping.

These rods have a diameter of 3/32 inch (approx. 2.4 mm) and a standard cut length of 36 inches.

Yes, it includes a Q2 Lot® certificate, which shows the actual wire composition for quality assurance and traceability.

While it can weld them, it is over-alloyed for standard 304/316. It is specifically designed for Alloy 20 or similar high-corrosion-resistant austenitic alloys. Always match the filler metal to the base metal requirements.
