BLUME® ER316 Datasheet

Q: What type of shielding gas is recommended for BLUME® ER316 MIG Wire?
A: Use 98% Argon + 2% Oxygen or 95% Argon + 5% CO₂ for best arc stability and bead appearance.

Q: Can BLUME® ER316 be used to weld 304 stainless steel?
A: Yes, it can be used for joining dissimilar stainless grades like 304 to 316, where added corrosion resistance is desired.

Q: What is the main advantage of BLUME® ER316 over ER308?
A: The Molybdenum in ER316 offers superior corrosion resistance, especially against chlorides and acidic environments—ideal for marine and chemical applications.

Q: Does BLUME® ER316 require post-weld treatment?
A: Not typically. However, pickling or passivation can enhance corrosion resistance for critical applications.

Q: Why choose BLUME® ER316 MIG Wire?
A: Because BLUME® wires are engineered for performance and consistency—you get cleaner welds, fewer defects, and greater long-term reliability in every spool.
