BLUE MAX MIG 316LSi AWS ER316Si, ER316LSi Stainless Steel MIG Wire

When joining 316 and 316L stainlesssteels with the MIG process, Blue Max316LSi is the answer. This premiumquality wire is specially processed toprovide superior feeding and arcstability.

ADVANTAGE LINCOLN Undiluted weld metal is designed to

contain considerable ferrite for highcrack resistance.

Globular and spray transfer arerecommended for downhand andhorizontal only. Short circuitingtransfer and pulsed arc can be usedfor out-of-position welding.

Intended to be used withArgon/Oxygen blend for spray

transfer and pulsing, or Helium-richshielding gas mixtures for shortcircuiting transfer.

Should not be used in ureamanufacture, as this environmentwill attack the ferrite.


TYPICAL APPLICATIONS For joining and cladding 316L joints

and overlays. Can also be used on18-8 steels.
