OVERVIEW

Premium Inconel 82 MIG Wire for Industrial Fabrication

The Josef Gas Inconel 82 (ERNiCr-3) MIG Wire is a high-performance nickel-chromium-iron consumable designed for the most demanding industrial applications. Engineered to meet AWS A5.14 Class ERNiCr-3 specifications, this .045-inch diameter wire is supplied on a 30lb spool, making it an economical choice for heavy-duty fabrication shops and manufacturing environments. Inconel 82 is renowned for its versatility, serving as the standard choice for welding Inconel alloys 600 and 601, as well as for overlaying carbon steel to provide a corrosion-resistant surface.

One of the primary strengths of this alloy is its ability to handle dissimilar metal joining. It is frequently used to weld stainless steels to carbon steels, or nickel alloys to stainless steels, without the risk of cracking that plagues lesser filler metals. The addition of Manganese and Niobium (Columbium) to the Nickel-Chromium matrix stabilizes the weld pool, significantly reducing the risk of solidification cracking and micro-fissuring. This makes it a reliable choice for critical components in the power generation, petrochemical, and nuclear industries where weld integrity cannot be compromised.

At Josef Gas, we understand that consistency is key to productivity. Our Inconel 82 wire is precision wound to ensure smooth feeding through your MIG gun liner, minimizing downtime caused by bird-nesting or erratic arc stability. The wire surface is clean and free of contaminants, promoting a stable arc and high-quality weld deposits with excellent bead aesthetics. Whether you are repairing heat exchangers, fabricating furnace components, or performing cladding operations, this wire delivers the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance required for long-service life in harsh environments.

FAQ

For MIG welding with ERNiCr-3 (Inconel 82), 100% Argon is the most common shielding gas. For thicker sections or to improve wetting, an Argon/Helium mixture can be used.

Yes, Inconel 82 is an excellent choice for joining dissimilar metals, such as carbon steel to stainless steel, because it accommodates the dilution from both base metals without cracking.

This wire meets the AWS A5.14 classification for ERNiCr-3.

This product comes on a 30lb (approx. 13.6kg) spool.

While standard steel liners can work, it is often recommended to use a Teflon or plastic liner for nickel alloys to prevent friction and contamination, similar to aluminum welding setups.

Inconel 82 (ERNiCr-3) is typically used for Inconel 600/601 and dissimilar joints. Inconel 625 (ERNiCrMo-3) contains Molybdenum and is used for higher corrosion resistance and strength, particularly in marine environments.

Yes, Inconel 82 exhibits excellent high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance, making it suitable for furnace components and power generation applications.
