Stainless-steel MIG wire, ER316L classification, .045 in diameter on a 10 lb spool for 316-grade materials

  • TypeWelding Supplies
  • ER316L alloy welds 316 and 316L stainless grades
  • .045 inch diameter feeds smoothly through MIG guns
  • 10 lb spool reduces reload frequency on long runs
  • 86 ksi tensile strength delivers strong structural joints
  • 55 ksi yield strength resists permanent deformation under load

Stainless steel MIG wire for 316 grades

This wire is manufactured to AWS classifications ER316 and ER316L for MIG welding of stainless steel. It comes on a 10 lb plastic spool and uses a .045 in diameter suited to DCEP current. The product is new and intended for joining material grades 316, 316L, 316LN, 316N and 444.

Suited for stainless-to-stainless fabrication

Welders who need to join the listed austenitic grades with a matching filler will find this specification appropriate. It is not for jobs that require a different alloy family, a different wire diameter or a spool weight other than 10 lb. Buyers who need flux-cored or TIG formats should look elsewhere.

Wire diameter .045 in determines fit

The .045 in diameter is the critical dimension that must match the welding gun liner and contact tip. If the equipment is set up for a different wire size this spool cannot be used without changing those consumables.

Questions about this item

How much power does the MIG welder draw when running this .045 ER316L wire all day?

This product is the welding wire itself, not the welder. Power draw depends on the MIG machine you use with the DCEP current designation and the 86 ksi tensile strength wire.

What equipment must I already own to use this 10 lb spool of ER316L wire?

You need a MIG (GMAW) welder set for DCEP polarity that accepts a plastic spool and can feed .045 in stainless steel wire for grades such as 316, 316L, 316LN, 316N and 444.

Will this .045 ER316L wire work with the older 316-grade stainless parts I keep in the shop?

Yes. The wire is classified for material grades 316, 316L, 316LN, 316N and 444, so it matches the older 316-series components you already have.
