Why Choose ER316LSi TIG Welding Rod?
Improved Wetting & Bead Appearance
The increased silicon content of ER316LSi improves wash and wetting behavior in gas-shielded welding, helping produce a smooth, well-shaped weld bead.
Low-Carbon Stainless Filler Metal
The low-carbon composition is designed for compatible 316-series and similar molybdenum-bearing stainless steels where corrosion resistance is important.
Product Selection Considerations
Rod Diameter
Select the rod diameter appropriate for base-metal thickness, joint design, welding position, amperage range and the applicable welding procedure.
Base-Metal Compatibility
Confirm ER316LSi filler-metal compatibility with the stainless alloy being welded, service environment and applicable code or engineering specification.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Harris ER316LSi stainless steel TIG rod?
Harris ER316LSi is a low-carbon molybdenum-bearing stainless steel GTAW filler rod with increased silicon content for improved wetting and weld-bead appearance.
What is the difference between ER316L and ER316LSi?
ER316LSi has increased silicon content compared with ER316L. The additional silicon improves wetting and wash characteristics during gas-shielded welding.
What rod diameters are available?
This product is available in 1/16", 3/32" and 1/8" diameters.
What package sizes are available?
Current Harris variations include 4 lb and 10 lb Box configurations depending on rod diameter.
What stainless steel is ER316LSi commonly used with?
ER316LSi is commonly selected for Type 316 and similar low-carbon molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steels.
What is the tensile strength of Harris ER316LSi?
Harris lists an as-welded tensile strength of approximately 88,000 psi.
Can ER316LSi be used in all welding positions?
Yes. Harris identifies ER316LSi for all welding positions.
How do I select the correct ER316LSi variation?
Select the rod diameter and package size required for your welding procedure and application. The selected variation determines the Harris item number, package weight, selling price and cost.
