Exceptional Corrosion ResistanceThe 304L ER stainless steel TIG wire is specifically designed for superior resistance to corrosion, making it optimal for environments exposed to chemicals, moisture, and food products. Its low carbon content minimizes carbide precipitation, guaranteeing reliable performance in industries such as pharmaceuticals and food processing.
High Mechanical StrengthWith a tensile strength of at least 550 MPa and yield strength of at least 320 MPa, this TIG wire provides robust welds with excellent elongation (>30%), ensuring structural integrity in both fabrication and pipe welding jobs, even under demanding industrial conditions.
Versatile ApplicationsSuitable for TIG welding (GTAW) of 304 and 304L stainless steel, this filler wire is widely utilized in sheet metal work, pipe welding, and industrial fabrication. Its solid conductor and bright finish make it a preferred choice for precision jobs requiring clean and durable welds.
FAQs of 304L ER Stainless Steel Tig Wire:
Q: How is 304L ER Stainless Steel TIG Wire used in welding?
A: 304L ER Stainless Steel TIG Wire serves as a filler material during TIG welding (GTAW) of 304/304L stainless steels. It is fed manually or mechanically into the weld pool, creating strong, corrosion-resistant joints ideal for industrial and fabrication purposes.
Q: What industries commonly benefit from using ER304L TIG wire?
A: Industries such as chemical processing, food manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals benefit most from ER304L TIG wire due to its excellent corrosion resistance, bright surface finish, and reliable mechanical properties.
Q: When should I choose ER304L TIG wire over other grades?
A: ER304L TIG wire should be used when welding applications require low carbon content to prevent intergranular corrosion, especially in environments involving chemicals, high humidity, or food products. It is preferred for welding 304 or 304L stainless steels.
Q: Where is 304L ER TIG Wire typically supplied and distributed in India?
A: 304L ER TIG Wire is available through an extensive network of distributors, suppliers, exporters, importers, and traders across India, making it accessible for various industrial and fabrication needs.
Q: What shielding gas is recommended when welding with ER304L TIG wire?
A: 100% Argon is the recommended shielding gas for TIG welding with ER304L wire. Argon ensures a stable arc, minimizes oxidation, and promotes clean, high-quality welds on stainless steel surfaces.
Q: How does the chemical composition of ER304L TIG wire enhance its performance?
A: The low carbon content (0.03%) paired with optimal chromium and nickel percentages in ER304L TIG wire boosts corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. These features make it suitable for demanding, high-temperature environments up to 870C.
Q: What packaging options are available for 304L ER Stainless Steel TIG Wire?
A: The wire is typically supplied in plastic tubes, spools, or coils, ensuring safe transport and convenient handling at the worksite, with lengths of 1 meter as standard and customized sizing as required.
