EX316LP00000450F00 - Exocor 316LP Stainless Flux Core Wire .045 33lb Spool

Industrial Grade Stainless Steel Flux Core Wire

The Exocor 316LP is a premium flux-cored stainless steel wire designed for the rigorous demands of industrial fabrication. Engineered with a nominal weld metal composition of 19% chromium, 12.5% nickel, and 2.5% molybdenum, this wire is specifically formulated for welding 316 and 316L stainless steels. Its low carbon content (0.04% max) ensures resistance to intergranular corrosion, making it an ideal choice for petrochemical, food processing, and marine environments where material integrity is paramount.

This wire features a dual AWS classification of E316LT1-1 and E316LT1-4, providing flexibility in shielding gas selection. It performs exceptionally well with both 100% CO2 and 75% Argon / 25% CO2 mixtures. The "P" in 316LP designates its superior positional capabilities; the fast-freezing slag system supports the weld puddle effectively in vertical-up and overhead positions, allowing for flat bead profiles and consistent penetration even in difficult orientations.

Packaged in a 33lb spool, the Exocor 316LP is designed for high-volume production environments. The precision layer winding ensures smooth feeding through standard MIG guns, reducing downtime associated with bird-nesting or feed interruptions. For facilities requiring reliable, high-deposition stainless welding solutions, Exocor 316LP delivers consistent mechanical properties and X-ray quality welds.
