Shield-Bright 316L

Flux-Cored WireFiller Metals

Shield-Bright 316L is a gas‑shielded flux‑cored (FCAW) wire designed for low‑carbon 316 stainless steel (18% Cr, 12% Ni, 2% Mo) welding in all positions.

Key Features

  • Easy slag release and near‑zero spatter for reduced post‑weld cleaning
  • Rutile‑based slag system enables spray transfer mode at high currents
  • Compatible with mixed or CO₂ shielding gases (C1, M21)
  • High deposition rates with flat weld bead regardless of position

Specifications

  • Alloy Type: C Cr Ni Mo
  • Shielding Gas: M21, C1 (EN ISO 14175)
  • Welding Current: DC+
  • Diameter: 1.2 mm
  • Amperage: 130‑220 A
  • Voltage: 24‑29 V
  • Wire Feed Speed: 5.8‑14.4 m/min
  • Deposition Rate: 1.9‑4.6 kg/h
  • Carbon Content: ≤0.04 %
  • Yield Strength (C1): 442 MPa | Tensile Strength (C1): 570 MPa | Elongation (C1): 53 %
  • Yield Strength (M21): 450 MPa | Tensile Strength (M21): 580 MPa | Elongation (M21): 40 %

Applications

  • All‑position welding of 316 stainless steel components
  • Industries such as rayon, dye, and paper making where corrosion resistance is critical
  • Projects requiring high deposition rates and minimal post‑weld cleaning
