MERIH STAINLESS, based in Istanbul, Turkey, is a reputable manufacturer and supplier of top-notch stainless steel welding consumables. One of their standout products is the AWS Class ER316/316H MIG and TIG filler wire and rod, designed specifically for applications that demand both corrosion resistance and high-temperature performance. These filler metals are made from high-purity raw materials and undergo rigorous quality control processes, ensuring they deliver consistent weldability and mechanical strength. As demand grows in global markets, MERIH STAINLESS caters to industries like petrochemical, power generation, and industrial fabrication, providing dependable solutions that align with international standards and meet specific customer needs for quality and durability.
The AWS Class ER316/316H MIG and TIG filler wires and rods are formulated with about 18–20% Chromium, 11–14% Nickel, and 2–3% Molybdenum, with the 316H grade featuring a higher carbon content (up to 0.08%) to boost high-temperature strength. This unique blend offers outstanding resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and oxidation at elevated temperatures. Typical mechanical properties include a tensile strength of ≥570 MPa, yield strength of ≥350 MPa, and elongation of ≥30%. The increased carbon in the 316H variant enhances creep resistance, making it ideal for use in environments exceeding 500°C, while still ensuring good weldability and a smooth, stable arc in both MIG and TIG welding processes.
