{"product_id":"kobelco-tgx-316l-x-2-2","title":"Kobelco - TGX - 316L x 2.2","description":"\u003cp\u003eKobelco TG-X316L is a premium, flux-cored TIG welding rod engineered specifically for non-purging root pass welding. \u003cbr\u003e\n It conforms precisely to the international classification AWS A5.22 R316LT1-5.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n Like the rest of the TG-X family, it contains an internal flux formulation that creates a protective slag shield over the back of the root bead, eliminating the need for expensive back shielding gas (Argon purging).\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n Key Specifications \u0026amp; Applications\u003cbr\u003e\n Target Materials: Formulated for joining low-carbon 18%Cr–12%Ni–2%Mo austenitic stainless steels, specifically AISI 316 and 316L. It is highly compatible with marine, food-grade, pharmaceutical, and chemical-processing plant materials.\u003cbr\u003e\n Chemical Profile: Enhanced with 2.0% to 3.0% Molybdenum (Mo). This provides superior localized resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and acidic chloride media compared to 308L variants.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n The No-Purge Advantage: Maximizes efficiency during field construction by removing the setup time needed for purging jigs or damming systems.\u003cbr\u003e\n Welding Parameters: Requires Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW \/ TIG) on Direct Current Electrode Negative (DCEN) polarity using a 100% Argon torch shielding gas.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n Critical Operating Procedures\u003cbr\u003e\n Root Pass Only: Slag-generating characteristics restrict this rod exclusively to the initial root pass. It cannot be utilized to fill or cap subsequent weld layers.\u003cbr\u003e\n Travel Speed Control: Conventional solid wire manipulation cannot be applied here. The welder must advance the rod quickly with a short-pitch travel technique. Sluggish movement traps molten slag inside the pool, creating immediate weld defects.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kobelco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56031592677668,"sku":"KB.TGX316L.T220","price":3335.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/4938\/3716\/files\/kobelco-tgx-308l-2-2mm-tig-filler-wire-500x500_1-p10769074422052.jpg?v=1787599812","url":"https:\/\/www.weldtools.in\/products\/kobelco-tgx-316l-x-2-2","provider":"weldtools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
