Avesta 316L Stainless Steel TIG Rod – High-Alloy, Corrosion-Resistant Filler Metal
Avesta 316L is a high-alloy, corrosion-resistant TIG welding rod designed for joining austenitic stainless steels of the 17 Cr / 12 Ni / 2.5 Mo type or similar materials. It delivers reliable performance in demanding environments and offers exceptional resistance to general, pitting, and intercrystalline corrosion—especially in chloride-containing or dilute hot acid applications.
This filler metal is also suitable for welding titanium- and niobium-stabilized grades such as ASTM 316Ti and ASTM 316Nb for service temperatures up to 400 °C. For higher-temperature applications, a niobium-stabilized consumable such as Avesta 318-Si/SKNb-Si is recommended. A high-silicon option (316L-Si/SKRSi) is also available, offering improved fluidity, reduced spatter, and enhanced weld bead appearance.
