The PROWELD 316 3.2MM Sub Arc Wire is a 316L stainless steel submerged arc welding wire designed for joining 316, 316L, and other "18-8" austenitic stainless steels. It offers enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard 308 stainless steel, making it suitable for demanding welding applications.

This 3.2mm diameter wire is optimized for high-deposition welding processes and is commonly supplied on 25kg spools. It is particularly effective for welding low-carbon, molybdenum-alloyed steels, providing superior performance in chemically corrosive or marine environments where corrosion resistance is critical.

Key product characteristics include:

• Type: Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) wire
• Grade: 316L, featuring low carbon content and molybdenum addition for improved corrosion resistance
• Diameter: 3.2mm
• Packaging: Typically available on 25kg spools

Benefits of using this wire include high corrosion resistance due to molybdenum content, high deposition rates inherent to submerged arc welding for efficient welding of heavy materials, and the production of smooth, high-quality welds. For optimal results, this wire should be used with compatible fluxes such as the 300B flux and requires specialized submerged arc welding equipment for wire feeding and flux application.
