Welding Consumables Supplier in the United Kingdom
Shanti Metal Supply Corporation supplies coated electrodes, MIG and TIG filler wires and SAW wires to fabricators, maintenance contractors and process plants across the United Kingdom. Established in 1983 and based in Mumbai, we stock stainless steel, nickel-based and high-temperature welding consumables and export them with test certificates for every batch.
Overview
Stainless steel and nickel alloy welding consumables for the United Kingdom
UK chemical, offshore and power-generation projects cover acid-handling equipment, sour-service pipework and high-temperature components. The required welding consumable therefore depends on the base metal, welding process and service environment. Our stainless steel welding consumables include Alloy 20 and 904L grades, while our nickel-based coated electrodes and filler wires cover Inconel 625, Inconel 82 and Alloy 59.
Industries we serve
Welding Consumables for the UK's Chemical, Offshore and Power Industries
UK chemical and petrochemical facilities in areas such as Teesside, the Humber, Grangemouth, Runcorn and Ellesmere Port use Alloy 20, 904L and nickel alloys in equipment handling sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, caustic and chloride-containing streams. North Sea oil and gas platforms and their onshore terminals need nickel-chromium-molybdenum consumables for sour-service pipework, weld overlay cladding and dissimilar joints. Power stations, gas-turbine sites and nuclear facilities weld Inconel-type alloys for components exposed to high temperature.
Each sector sets its own consumable requirement. Acid plants call for ER320LR and ER385 filler wires that match Alloy 20 and 904L base metals. Offshore and terminal fabricators specify ERNiCrMo-3 for 625 cladding and steel-to-nickel joints. High-temperature fabrication uses ERNiCr-3 and Hastelloy X where oxidation and creep resistance above 800 °C are required.
Product range
Welding Electrodes and Filler Wires We Supply to the UK
-
ER320LR Filler Wire and E320LR-16 Electrodes for Alloy 20 Sulphuric Acid Service
For Alloy 20 (UNS N08020) pipe, tanks, pump and valve parts handling sulphuric acid. The LR (low residuals) chemistry reduces hot-cracking risk in the fully austenitic weld metal. Our ER320LR filler wire is used for TIG/MIG fabrication, while E320LR-16 coated electrodes cover manual welding and repairs.
-
ERNiCrMo-3 Filler Wire and ENiCrMo-3 Electrodes for Alloy 625 and Overlay Cladding
For 625 base metal, weld overlay cladding on carbon steel, and joining duplex or stainless steel to nickel alloys in offshore and sour-service pipework. We stock ERNiCrMo-3 MIG/TIG filler wire for shop work and ERNiCrMo-3 SAW wire for overlay and heavy sections. ENiCrMo-3 coated electrodes are available for manual and site welding.
-
ERNiCr-3 Filler Wire for Inconel 600, Incoloy 800 and Dissimilar Joints
For Inconel 600, Incoloy 800 / 800H and dissimilar joints between stainless and carbon steel in boilers, heat exchangers and nuclear plant components. Fabricators use ERNiCr-3 filler wire for TIG/MIG welding, and we also supply ERNiCr-3 SAW wire for submerged arc work.
-
ERNiCrMo-13 Filler Wire and ENiCrMo-13 Electrodes for Alloy 59 and FGD Equipment
For Alloy 59 and other nickel-chromium-molybdenum base metals in chemical plant, flue-gas desulphurisation and effluent-treatment equipment. ERNiCrMo-13 filler wire also serves as an overmatching filler for 6Mo and super duplex joints in chloride service. For manual and repair welding, ENiCrMo-13 electrodes are available.
-
ER385 Filler Wire and E385-16 Electrodes for 904L Stainless Steel
For 904L (UNS N08904) equipment in sulphuric and phosphoric acid plants, flue-gas scrubbers and seawater-cooled heat exchangers. Shops use ER385 filler wire for TIG/MIG fabrication, and E385-16 coated electrodes handle site welding and maintenance.
-
Hastelloy X Welding Wire and Electrodes for Gas Turbine and High-Temperature Parts
For gas-turbine combustion components, furnace parts, afterburners and other high-temperature equipment in power generation and aerospace maintenance. The nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum weld metal keeps its oxidation resistance and strength at elevated temperature. We supply Hastelloy X welding wire for TIG/MIG work and Hastelloy X coated electrodes for manual welding.
Selection guide
How to Choose the Right Consumable for Your Project In UK
Match the base metal first
Alloy 20 takes ER320LR, 904L takes ER385, 625 takes ERNiCrMo-3, and 600 / 800H joints usually take ERNiCr-3. Overmatching fillers such as ERNiCrMo-13 are used when the specification allows.
Check the service environment
Sulphuric and phosphoric acid favour Alloy 20 and 904L consumables; sour and chloride service favours the NiCrMo classes; high-temperature oxidising service points to Hastelloy X.
Pick the product form for the process
Coated electrodes for shutdown and site repairs, MIG/TIG filler rods and spools for shop fabrication, SAW wire for overlay cladding and long seams.
Follow the project specification
UK drawings often quote BS EN or AWS designations alongside each other. Give us the designation on the WPS or drawing and the certificate format you need.

Bulk orders and small maintenance quantities both ship from Mumbai by sea or air freight to the UK.
Technical support on classification
We help confirm the AWS class, product form and diameter against the base metal and environment before the order is placed.
FAQs
Which welding consumables do you supply for UK chemical and acid plants?
ER320LR / E320LR-16 for Alloy 20, ER385 / E385-16 for 904L, and ERNiCrMo-3, ERNiCrMo-4 and ERNiCrMo-13 nickel alloy consumables for chloride and mixed-acid service, plus the wider stainless steel and nickel alloy range on our site.
Do you supply ERNiCrMo-3 as filler wire and electrodes for 625 overlay work?
Yes. ERNiCrMo-3 is stocked as MIG/TIG filler rod and SAW wire, and ENiCrMo-3 as coated electrode. Tell us the process and diameter and we will confirm current availability.
Which test certificates come with an order to the UK?
Test certificates are supplied with each order, and consumables are batch-printed for traceability. Specify any project-specific certificate format when requesting a quote.
Do your products conform to BS EN as well as AWS classifications?
Our products conform to the current BS, BS EN, AWS-ASME and DIN standards where applicable. Give us the designation written on your drawing or WPS and we will quote the matching product.
