BLUME® ER316L Datasheet

Q: What’s the difference between ER316 and ER316L MIG Wire?
A: ER316L has lower carbon content, preventing carbide precipitation and improving resistance to intergranular corrosion—especially important in high-temperature or corrosive service conditions.

Q: Can BLUME® ER316L be used for food-grade applications?
A: Absolutely. Its low carbon chemistry and clean, smooth welds make it ideal for sanitary environments like food, beverage, and pharmaceutical equipment.

Q: What shielding gas is recommended?
A: Use 98% Argon + 2% Oxygen or 95% Argon + 5% CO₂ for optimal arc performance and bead shape.

Q: Can BLUME® ER316L weld dissimilar stainless steels?
A: Yes – it performs well on 304, 316, and other stainless alloys, offering excellent metallurgical compatibility and corrosion protection.

Q: Why choose BLUME® over other brands?
A: Because BLUME® wires deliver precision-engineered chemistry, superior arc stability, and consistent performance—helping professionals produce cleaner, stronger welds with less rework.
