Aditya Stainless, based in Kolkata, India, has built a solid reputation as a manufacturer and supplier of top-notch stainless steel welding consumables, such as AWS Class ER316/316L SAW Wire and Flux. These materials are specifically crafted for submerged arc welding of molybdenum-bearing stainless steels like 316 and 316L, ensuring strong weld integrity, impressive corrosion resistance, and smooth operation. With a low carbon content that reduces the risk of carbide precipitation, the flux is designed for easy slag release and stable arc performance. Aditya Stainless is a trusted name in demanding sectors like chemical processing, offshore, power generation, and pressure vessels, providing reliable welding solutions.
ER316/316L SAW Wire is composed of 18–20% chromium, 11–14% nickel, and 2–3% molybdenum, with a carbon content of ≤0.03% to enhance intergranular corrosion resistance. When used with the right flux (like neutral or slightly basic), this combination delivers outstanding weld quality with minimal spatter and slag. The mechanical properties typically feature a tensile strength of at least 75,000 psi (520 MPa), yield strength of at least 57,000 psi (390 MPa), and an elongation of about 30%. This blend provides excellent resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and high-temperature oxidation, making it perfect for thick-section welding and structural stainless steel fabrication.
