ESAB 163024R150 3/32″, OK Tigrod 316L Stainless Steel TIG Rods

The ESAB 163024R150 OK Tigrod 316L Stainless Steel TIG Rod is a 3/32″ (2.4mm) ER316L filler rod, designed for TIG (GTAW) welding of 316 and 316L stainless steels. This low-carbon stainless steel rod (≤ 0.03% C) minimizes carbide precipitation, reducing the risk of intergranular corrosion, making it ideal for high-corrosion environments such as marine, chemical processing, and food-grade applications.

With a minimum tensile strength of 85,500 PSI, this filler rod provides strong, ductile, and crack-resistant welds with excellent oxidation and pitting resistance, especially in chloride-rich environments. The 40-inch rod length ensures long welding runs with fewer interruptions, while the 5 kg (11 lb) box provides a reliable supply for industrial applications.

Features:

• ER316L Stainless Steel Filler Metal: Ideal for welding 316 and 316L stainless steel in highly corrosive environments.
• Low Carbon Content (≤ 0.03%): Prevents chromium carbide precipitation, reducing the risk of corrosion and cracking.
• High Tensile Strength (85,500 PSI): Ensures strong, durable welds for critical applications.
• Excellent Corrosion & Pitting Resistance: Performs well in chloride-rich and high-temperature environments.
