If you have been shopping around for the best welding wire on the market, you will have undoubtedly noticed that there are various types of welding wire on the market. When it comes to stainless steel welding wire, there are two main variants for you to choose from. These are MIG welding wire and TIG welding wire.

Stainless steel welding wire is a popular option as a result of its weldability and mechanical properties. This type of welding wire belongs to a group of high alloy steel with a chromium content of less than 12%. This undoubtedly contributes to the weldability of the wire.

At Sadevinox we stock the Austinox range of welding wire which is synonymous with durability and value for money. You can use the following details as a guide to the different types of welding wire on the market:

MIG welding wire
This stainless steel welding wire is manufactured to be used with metal inert gas (MIG). This is a high performance stainless steel wire that will go a long way towards reducing production costs while boosting actual production. MIG welding is a type of welding that can only be done with thin to medium metals. Corrosion resistance is one of the benefits of MIG welding wire. How resistant the wire is will depend on the grade of wire used. We stock the following grades of MIG welding wires at Sadevinox: 316LSi, 307Si, 308LSi, 309LSi and 310.

TIG welding wire
This stainless steel welding wire is manufactured to be used with tungsten inert gas (TIG). TIG welding is a type of arc welding process where non-consumable tungsten electrode is used for the purpose of welding. This type of welding is more versatile than gas welding and must be done with the correct welding wire. TIG welding wire is typically corrosion resistant and just how resistant will depend on the grade of wire invested in. At Sadevinox, we stock the following grades if TIG welding wires: 308L, 310, 316L, ER316LSi, 307S, 308LSi, 309L, 307Si, 385 and 347Si.
