Harris 316LSI Stainless TIG GTAW Welding Rod 3/32 X 36 X 10 lb - 316ST50
316LSi stainless steel TIG (GTAW) welding alloy has similar usage as TIG 316L, but the 0.65-1.00% silicon content improves wash and wetting behavior in the gas shielded welding processes. Conforms to AWS A5.9.
Features
- Stainless steel 316LSi TIG welding rod welds low carbon molybdenum-bearing austenitic alloys
- Lower carbon content (0.03% maximum) resists carbide precipitation that can cause weld corrosion
- Higher 0.65-1.00% silicon content improves the wetting and washing behavior of the weld metal, yielding a smoother bead in the gas-shielded welding process
- 88,000 psi tensile strength (as welded)
- 58,000 psi yield strength (as welded)
- 37% elongation (as welded);68% reduction of area (as welded)
- 85 HRB Rockwell B hardness (as welded)
- 160 HB Brinell hardness (as welded)
- 95 ft./lb. @ room temperature Charpy V (as welded)
- Conforms to ANSI/AWS A5.9 & ASME SFA 5.9 ER 316LSi
