A continuous, solid, corrosion-resistant, stabilised, chromium-nickel molybdenum wire for welding Cr-Ni-Mo and Cr-Ni stabilised or non-stabilised steels. OK Autrod 318Si has good general corrosion resistance. The alloy is stabilised with niobium to improve resistance to the intergranular corrosion of the weld metal. The higher silicon content improves the welding properties such as wetting. Due to stabilisation by niobium, this alloy is recommended for service temperatures up to 400ºC.
