316LSi stainless steel TIG (GTAW) welding alloy 3/32" x 36 in. x 10 lb. box - 316ST50
ER316LSi Stainless steel GTAW (TIG) welding rod is primarily used to weld low carbon molybdenum-beaing austenitic alloys. The lower carbon content of .03% max. is used to avoid carbide precipitation. The additional silicon content increases the wetting action and yields a smooth bead.
