Chanchai Stainless, located in Bangkok, produces high-quality AWS Class ER316 / 316L Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) wires and fluxes. These are developed for welding molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steels. With excellent corrosion resistance, especially against chlorides and sulfates, these filler materials suit demanding environments. The SAW process guarantees deep penetration and high deposition rates, making it ideal for large-scale stainless steel fabrication.
ER316 / 316L typically contains 18 to 20% chromium, 11 to 14% nickel, 2 to 3% molybdenum, and carbon content below 0.03% in the “L” variant. These wires provide tensile strengths around 580 to 630 MPa, along with excellent elongation and toughness. The added molybdenum improves resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, especially in marine or chemical environments.
