DW316L-045F - Kobelco Premiarc DW-316L .045 Flux-Cored Stainless Wire 28lb

High-Performance Stainless Steel Fabrication Wire

The Kobelco Premiarc DW-316L is a premium rutile flux-cored wire designed for the high-speed welding of low carbon 18% Cr-12% Ni-2.5% Mo stainless steels (AISI 316L). Engineered for critical industrial applications, this wire meets AWS A5.22 classifications E316LT1-1 and E316LT1-4, ensuring versatility across different shielding gas setups. Whether utilizing 100% CO2 for deep penetration and economy, or a 75% Argon / 25% CO2 mixture for a smoother arc and reduced fume, the DW-316L delivers consistent metallurgical quality.

This consumable is specifically formulated to resist intergranular corrosion thanks to its low carbon content, making it an ideal choice for industries requiring durable, long-lasting welds in corrosive environments. The flux composition promotes a stable, soft arc that runs smoothly in flat and horizontal positions. It is widely utilized in the fabrication of chemical tankers, food processing equipment, and pharmaceutical storage vessels where weld integrity and surface finish are paramount.

Packaged in a 28lb spool, this wire is optimized for industrial wire feeders, reducing changeover downtime compared to smaller packages. The wire's feedability is excellent, minimizing bird-nesting and liner wear. By choosing Kobelco's Premiarc series, fabricators benefit from a product that balances mechanical strength with exceptional operability, ensuring that production targets are met without compromising on weld quality.
