Applications:
E316LSi is a stainless steel filler material suitable for welding austenitic stainless steels like 304, 304L, 316, and 316L. It is commonly used in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, and chemical processing. It is ideal for applications requiring high corrosion resistance and where the weld needs to match the base material's properties.
