Flawless results using Esab OK Tigrod 316LSI

Practical benefits

High resistance to corrosion: The low carbon chemistry protects your stainless steel welds against intergranular attack and aggressive acidic environments.
Smooth and consistent wetting: Increased silicon content ensures superior puddle fluidity, helping you achieve neat and visually appealing weld beads.
Control on thin materials: The 1.6 mm diameter lets you join thin-walled pipes and sheets with precise heat management.

In a nutshell

The right choise for

With the Esab ok Tigrod 316LSI welding rod, you achieve clean, strong welds on austenitic stainless steel projects. Its low carbon formulation and molybdenum alloying protect materials like 316 and 316L against intergranular corrosion and harsh acidic environments. The elevated silicon content enhances weld pool fluidity and ensures superior wetting, helping you lay down smooth and neat weld beads with ease. Featuring a 1.6 mm diameter and a 1000 mm length, this filler rod gives you precise heat control when joining thin-walled tubes and sheet metal in chemical, food processing, or marine applications. This 5 kg pack is designed for manual tig welding with pure argon or inert shielding gas.

Product description

OK Tigrod 316LSi is a bare TIG welding rod for welding austenitic stainless steels of the 18% Cr-8% Ni and 19% Cr-12% Ni-3% Mo, such as AISI 316 and 316L. Thanks to its low carbon content, the weld offers excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion, whilst the increased silicon content ensures good flow and a smooth weld appearance. The welding rod is suitable for a wide range of applications in corrosive environments.

Uncoated TIG welding rod for austenitic stainless steel
Classification: AWS A5.9 ER316LSi / EN ISO 14343-A W 19 12 3 L Si
Low carbon content for high resistance to intergranular corrosion
Increased silicon content for excellent fluidity and welding properties
Very good corrosion resistance, even in acidic and chlorinated environments
Suitable for the chemical and food industries, shipbuilding and architectural applications
To be used with argon (I1) as a shielding gas

OK Tigrod 316LSi is used for TIG welding of 316, 316L and similar austenitic stainless steel grades where a corrosion-resistant welded joint with a clean weld appearance is required.
