JACKSUN NOVA 316L

AWS/ASME: A5.9 ER316L

JACKSUN NOVA 316L is a low-carbon stainless steel solid wire suitable for MIG (GMAW) and TIG (GTAW) welding.
Designed for welding 316L and 316 stainless steels.
Low carbon (L-grade) minimizes the risk of intergranular corrosion.
Excellent corrosion resistance in chloride environments and acidic media.
Particularly resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion due to the presence of molybdenum (Mo).
Stable arc, smooth bead finish, and minimal spatter.
Recommended for chemical plants, marine applications, offshore structures, and food/pharmaceutical equipment.
