HILCO HILCHROME W316L

Hilchrome W316L is our solid wire for TIG welding low carbon 17Cr12Ni3Mo austenitic acid resistant stainless steel grades like AISI 316, 316L. Universal in applications but typical for all industries where superior corrosion resistance is required: textile industry, paper mills, chemical industry, cellulose industry etc., resistance to general and intergranular corrosion (up to 400ºC), good resistance to hot cracking. To be used in combination with tungsten electrodes type WS2 WITSTAR®.
