Akor Stainless is a well-respected manufacturer and supplier located in Abuja, Nigeria, focusing on top-notch stainless steel welding consumables. One of their standout products is the AWS Class ER316/316L Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) wire and flux, crafted to provide exceptional performance in tough industrial settings. Renowned for its precision engineering, consistent quality, and dependable supply chain, Akor Stainless caters to industries like oil and gas, petrochemical, marine, and power generation. Their dedication to innovation and excellence guarantees that customers receive welding materials that not only meet international standards but also enhance corrosion resistance and weld integrity.
The AWS Class ER316/316L SAW wire features about 18–20% Chromium, 11–14% Nickel, and 2–3% Molybdenum, along with a low carbon content (<0.03%) to boost corrosion resistance and reduce carbide precipitation. Typical mechanical properties include a tensile strength of around 550 MPa, yield strength of 350 MPa, elongation of 35%, and impressive impact toughness. When paired with a compatible flux like SAW Flux F7A2-EML16 or its equivalent, it ensures stable arc performance, a smooth bead appearance, and outstanding resistance to intergranular and pitting corrosion in environments with chlorides.
