Why choose ABRAFIL 316L?

  • Reduced risk of hot cracking
    The low silicon content limits the formation of internal stresses and cracks, especially when diluted with other metals.

  • Best metallurgical purity
    ABARFIL 316L (Si-free) is preferred in critical environments (pharmaceutical, nuclear, cryogenic) where composition must remain stable and controlled.

  • Fewer silicates in the bead
    Fewer oxide or silicate deposits, making multiple passes easier and improving adhesion between coats.

  • Maximum conformity with certain stainless steels
    Ideal when you want to stay as close as possible to the chemical composition of the 316L base metal.

  • Better performance in demanding environments
    Less sensitive to certain chemical or thermal reactions, particularly in applications subject to corrosion or long-term durability tests.

  • A safer alternative when visual finish is not a priority
    Unlike ABRAFIL 316LSi, which gives a smoother, more aesthetically pleasing bead, non-LSi 316L is above all a technical choice.
