EMILIO STAINLESS offers ER316 / ER316H solid stainless-steel filler wire and rod, adhering to AWS A5.9 / ASME SFA 5.9 (UNS S31680) standards for MIG (GMAW) and TIG (GTAW) welding. This filler is specifically crafted for welding 316 / 316H stainless steel and similar alloys. The key difference with ER316H is its higher carbon content (around 0.04–0.08 wt%), which enhances strength at elevated temperatures. It contains approximately 2.0–3.0 wt% molybdenum (Mo), 18–20% chromium (Cr), 11–14% nickel (Ni), 0.30–0.65% silicon (Si), 1.0–2.5% manganese (Mn), along with trace amounts of phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), and copper (Cu).

When it comes to mechanical properties, welds made with ER316 / ER316H are quite strong, boasting a tensile strength of about **580–650 MPa** (roughly 84,000–94,000 psi), a yield strength (0.2%) of around **400–600 MPa** (about 58,000–60,000 psi), and an elongation of **35–40%** or more at room temperature. These characteristics allow the welds to endure high temperatures, resist creep stress, and maintain good toughness. ([Weldtool Technologies][2])
