Frequently Asked Questions
What is Harris ER316LSi stainless steel MIG wire?
ER316LSi is a low-carbon molybdenum-bearing stainless steel GMAW filler wire with increased silicon content for improved wetting and washing behavior.
What is the difference between ER316L and ER316LSi?
ER316LSi has similar applications to ER316L but contains increased silicon, which improves wetting and washing behavior during gas-shielded welding and can produce a smoother weld bead.
What wire diameters are available?
GetPipe offers Harris ER316LSi MIG wire in .030", .035" and .045" diameters.
What spool sizes are available?
Available variations include 2 lb, 10 lb and 25 lb spools depending on wire diameter.
What is the tensile strength of Harris ER316LSi?
Harris lists an as-welded tensile strength of approximately 88,000 psi.
What is the yield strength?
Harris lists an as-welded yield strength of approximately 58,000 psi.
Why does ER316LSi contain additional silicon?
The increased silicon content improves the wetting and washing behavior of the weld metal during gas-shielded welding.
How do I select the correct ER316LSi variation?
Select the wire diameter and spool size required for your welding equipment, procedure and application. The selected variation determines the Harris item number, package weight, selling price and cost.
