SUS316 Spray Wire

SUS316 wire for electric arc spraying and machine-element repair on carbon, low-alloy and stainless steels; the source chemistry corresponds to low-carbon 316L type.

Low-carbon 316L-type chemistry: Cr 16-18%, Ni 10-14%, Mo 2-3%

Published coating bond strength of 6,750 psi

Includes published spray settings and substrate preparation

Product description

The source page product heading (H1) is SUS316 Spray Wire, while the composition section publishes low-carbon 316L-type chemistry: 16-18% Cr, 10-14% Ni, 2-3% Mo, maximum 2% Mn, maximum 1% Si, maximum 0.030% C and S, maximum 0.045% P and balance Fe. This record preserves the H1 name while making the separate provenance of the chemistry explicit.

Published coating data include HRB 90-100 hardness, 6,750 psi bond strength and an 11 lbs/hr/100A deposit rate. The page context and settings of 50-60 psi, 29-32 V, 100-150 A and a 4-6 inch distance describe electric arc spraying. White-metal cleaning and 24-mesh roughening are specified before repairing components with 1.6 or 3.2 mm wire.

Repairs and restores machine elements made from carbon, low-alloy or stainless steel, especially where an Fe-Cr-Ni-Mo corrosion-resistant deposit is required.
