OVERVIEW

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.

FAQ

This wire is designed to run on either 100% CO2 or a mixture of 75% Argon / 25% CO2.

Yes, the 'P' in 316LP indicates it is an all-position wire, specifically formulated with a fast-freezing slag to facilitate vertical-up and overhead welding.

It carries a dual classification of E316LT1-1 (for 100% CO2) and E316LT1-4 (for Mixed Gas).

While it will weld 304, it is generally recommended to use 308L wire for 304 stainless. 316L wire is best reserved for 316 base metals to match the molybdenum content.

Yes, like all flux-cored wires, it is best to use knurled drive rolls to prevent crushing the wire while ensuring positive feeding.

Exocor 316LP runs on DCEP (Direct Current Electrode Positive), also known as Reverse Polarity.

Flux-cored wires are hygroscopic. Store the spool in a cool, dry place, ideally in its original moisture-resistant packaging or a rod oven/dry cabinet if opened.

Flux core offers higher deposition rates and significantly better performance in out-of-position welding (vertical/overhead) compared to solid wire.
