CLASSIFICATION:
AWS/SFA 5.4: E 316L–16IS 5206: E19.12.2 LR16

CHARACTERISTICS:
A medium heavy coated rutile type stainless steel electrode depositing low carbon 18/13/2.5 Mo austen stainless steel weld metal. Deposited weld metal has very high resistance to hot cracking, chemical corrosion upto 800oC and stress corrosion cracking. Molybdenum imparts resistance corrosion of reducing nature. The deposited weld metal is of radiographic quality.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS:
•Suitable for welding stainless steels extra low carbon or stabilised by Titanium or Niobium such as AISI grades 316L, 317L and 318, S.S. clad pleas, chemical plants, paint industries.
•For welding stainless steel of 18/8/3 type as represented by AISI grades 316L, 317L & 318.. REDRYING: 250oC/2 hrs.Max 5 cycles, 10 hr. total.
