For welding of similar composition (316 & 316L & in some cases 304 & 304L) as well as joining mild & low alloy. The low carbon content ensures immunity from carbide precipitation & intergranular corrosion when welding low carbon stainless steel grades & higher silicon levels offer improved arc stability, bead shape & edge wetting. 316LSi would be considered the most widely used stainless steel MIG wire.
