For welding Stainless Steels that are high alloy molybdenum bearing. Gemini 316L is a solid welding wire that is excellent for corrosion resistant deposits. The high chrome and nickel content with molybdenum make this alloy a superior choice for applications in the chemical, food and refinery industries. It is suitable for many stainless types found in repair welding situations and is especially resistant to cracking. Gemini – 316L MIG is ideal for “suitcase” type wire feeders. Download PDF

Best Practices
The base metal must be cleaned completely.
Use stainless steel wire brush and clean oxide on multi-pass welds.
We recommend Gemini Anti-Spatter spray for lasting protection of your contact tip and MIG nozzle (see chemical aids in Abrasives & Metal Working products section).
