OJ316LDWG-045F - Kobe Premiarc DW-316L Flux-Cored Stainless Wire 0.045 28lb

High-Performance Stainless Steel Flux-Cored Wire

The Kobe Premiarc DW-316L is a premium rutile flux-cored wire specifically engineered for welding low-carbon 18% Cr-12% Ni-2.5% Mo stainless steels (AISI 316L). This 0.045-inch diameter wire comes in a 28lb spool and is designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial fabrication where efficiency and weld quality are paramount. Manufactured by Kobelco, a leader in flux-cored technology, this wire provides exceptional performance in all welding positions, making it a versatile choice for complex assemblies.

One of the standout characteristics of the DW-316L is its operator appeal. It produces a smooth, stable arc with very low spatter levels, which helps maintain a clean work environment and reduces material waste. The slag system is designed to be self-peeling or easily detachable, revealing a bright, shiny weld bead that often requires little to no post-weld grinding or polishing. This efficiency makes it ideal for high-production environments such as shipbuilding, chemical plant construction, and food processing equipment fabrication.

Technically, the wire meets AWS A5.22 E316LT1-1 and E316LT1-4 classifications. It offers flexibility in shielding gas selection, operating effectively with either 100% CO2 or a mixture of 75% Argon and 25% CO2. The deposited weld metal exhibits excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion and pitting, ensuring the longevity and integrity of the welded structure in harsh environments. The 28lb spool size is optimized for industrial wire feeders, reducing changeover downtime.
