MERIH STAINLESS, located in Istanbul, Turkey, stands out as a top manufacturer and supplier of premium welding consumables, with a focus on stainless steel products. One of their standout offerings is the AWS Class ER316/316L SAW wire, which comes with a compatible flux, specifically designed for submerged arc welding applications. MERIH STAINLESS is dedicated to quality, consistency, and ensuring customer satisfaction, providing reliable solutions to industries around the globe. Their ER316/316L products are crafted under rigorous quality control measures, adhering to international standards. As a trusted ally in stainless steel welding, MERIH STAINLESS caters to various sectors, including petrochemical, food processing, and marine engineering, offering durable and corrosion-resistant welding consumables.
The AWS Class ER316/316L SAW wire features about 18–20% Chromium, 11–14% Nickel, 2–3% Molybdenum, and a low Carbon content (≤0.03%) to boost corrosion resistance, particularly against chlorides. When paired with the right flux, it ensures excellent slag removal and a smooth bead appearance. The typical mechanical properties include a tensile strength of at least 560 MPa, yield strength of at least 350 MPa, and an elongation of 30% or more. Its low carbon formulation helps reduce carbide precipitation, which is key for intergranular corrosion resistance. This makes it perfect for welding austenitic stainless steels in highly corrosive environments, meeting or even surpassing the mechanical requirements of the AWS A5.9 specification.
