Eagle ER316L Stainless Steel TIG Rod | Corrosion-Resistant Filler Rod

Eagle ER316L TIG Rod is recommended for:

316 stainless steel
316L stainless steel
Stainless piping
Petrochemical equipment
Chemical-processing equipment
Food-processing equipment
Marine fabrication
Tanks and vessels
Industrial maintenance
Corrosion-resistant stainless repair
General stainless fabrication

Especially well suited where resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion and aggressive service environments is important.

ER316L is ideal for pipework, petrochemical and other corrosion-resistant stainless applications.

Clean the weld area thoroughly before welding.

Remove oil, grease, dirt, coatings and surface contamination.
Use a dedicated stainless steel wire brush where mechanical cleaning is required to help prevent carbon-steel contamination.

Use 100% Argon shielding gas for typical TIG / GTAW applications.

Operate on DC Straight [–] / DCEN polarity.

Maintain a short arc and keep the filler rod within the shielding-gas envelope to minimize oxidation.

Adjust amperage according to base-metal thickness, joint design and rod diameter.

Eagle ER316L is a low-carbon, molybdenum-bearing stainless steel TIG filler rod designed for corrosion-resistant stainless applications.

Typical ER316L chemistry contains approximately 18.5–19% chromium, 12–12.5% nickel and 2.6–2.7% molybdenum. The molybdenum addition improves resistance to localized corrosion, particularly pitting and crevice corrosion.

Why Eagle ER316L TIG Rod?

Improved corrosion resistance — molybdenum helps improve resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion.

Designed for 316/316L stainless — ideal for welding similar molybdenum-bearing stainless steels.

Low-carbon filler — helps reduce carbide precipitation and preserve corrosion resistance.

Excellent mechanical properties — published ER316L data shows minimum tensile strength around 510 MPa / 74,000 psi with elongation of at least 30%.

Ideal for demanding environments — particularly useful for piping, petrochemical, marine and process-industry fabrication.

ER316L, ER308L or ER309L TIG?

Choose ER316L for 316/316L stainless and applications requiring improved pitting and corrosion resistance.

Choose ER308L for 304/304L and similar stainless-to-stainless applications.

Choose ER309L when joining stainless steel to carbon steel or other dissimilar steels.

In simple terms:
ER316L = higher corrosion resistance
ER308L = standard stainless-to-stainless
ER309L = stainless-to-carbon steel / dissimilar metals

Process: TIG / GTAW
