AWS: SFA 5.9 ER318
EN ISO CODE:
FW 318 is a solid wire for TIG welding, available in bright finish, gives smooth flow, stable arc and spatter free under optimum welding conditions. It gives radiographic quality welds. The weld metal possesses good resistance to corrosion and pitting and improved creep strength. The weld metal has excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion. It is ideally suitable for welding of AISI 316, 316Ti, 317, 317Ti and their equivalents.
