Description
ER316LSI is similar to ER316L but with more silicon. This extra silicon greatly enhances the weld's wetting ability, resulting in a super - smooth weld bead. It's perfect for applications where a great cosmetic look matters.
- Welding Positions: All - around (full, vertical, overhead, horizontal)
- AWS A5.9, Use DCEN Welding Current
- Size: .045'
To use this Blue Demon ER316LSI stainless steel TIG rod, first make sure your welding machine is set to DCEN current as per AWS A5.9 standard. You can weld in various positions like vertical, overhead, horizontal, or all - around. When welding, you'll notice it's easy to get a smooth bead because of the high silicon content. Just hold the rod at the right angle and move steadily along the joint. As for safety, always wear proper welding gear like a mask, gloves, and protective clothing to avoid burns and fume inhalation. After use, store the rod in a dry place to prevent rusting. If you want the best results, keep the welding area clean before starting. That's all you need to know to use this rod effectively!
