The welding wire LNM 316LSi is a solid wire with very low carbon content, designed for welding stainless steel CrNi LNM 316LSi, type ER316LSi / G 19 12 3LSi. Due to the very low carbon content in the alloy, the risk of intergranular corrosion is reduced, eliminating the need for alloying additives to stabilize the metal structure. The increased silicon content ensures fluidity of the weld pool and wettability, resulting in smooth weld bead with a regular shape. This also translates into better weldability and appearance of the weld. The main applications of the wire include welding pipes, manufacturing steel sheets, tanks, and overlay welding. During welding with LNM 316LSi wire, it is recommended to use a gas mixture containing argon ranging from 0.5% to 5% CO2 or from 0.5% to 3% O2 as the shielding gas.
