Stainless Steel TIG Wire

TIG welding wire made of stainless steel is used to weld stainless steel components together. TIG welding, also known as GTAW (gas tungsten arc welding), is a type of welding that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. The tungsten electrode is protected from contamination by an inert gas shield, and a separate filler wire is fed into the weld pool to add material to the joint.

Stainless steel TIG wire is chosen for its corrosion resistance, high strength, and ability to maintain its strength at high temperatures. It is commonly used in the food processing, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries due to its resistance to corrosion and ability to be easily sterilized. The specific type of stainless steel used in the TIG wire may vary depending on the specific application, with common types including 304L, 308L, 309L, and 316L.

Stainless Steel TIG Wire

What TIG filler wire is used for stainless steel welding?

Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding is a popular method for welding stainless steel, and it uses a tungsten electrode to produce the weld. In TIG welding, a filler wire is also used to add material to the weld joint. The type of filler wire used for stainless steel welding will depend on the specific requirements of the weld and the grade of stainless steel being used.

Here are a few common filler wire options for TIG welding stainless steel:

308L: This is a general-purpose stainless steel filler wire that is suitable for welding 304 and 308 grade stainless steel.

309L: This filler wire is used for welding 309 grade stainless steel, which is commonly used in high temperature applications.

316L: This filler wire is used for welding 316 grade stainless steel, which is more corrosion resistant than other grades of stainless steel.

It's important to note that the specific filler wire selection will depend on the specific requirements of the weld and the grade of stainless steel being used. It may be necessary to test a few different filler wire options to determine the best one for your specific application.
