AFM E316L-16 1/8

AFM E316L-16 1/8

Precise control of the carbon content in E316/316L electrodes provides a weld deposit matching the corrosion resistant qualities of type 316/316L stainless steel. It has a smooth running arc that results in a uniform weld bead that is flat to slightly convex. E316/316L-16 is excellent for welding stainless steel types 316, 316L and 318.

The welds corrosion and fissuring resistance make it an excellent choice for critical applications requiring reduced susceptibility to sensitization during welding. -15 coatings available upon request.

Feature

• The high silicon allows better arc stability along with minimal post-weld grinding.
• Used in applications where a good cosmetic appearance is important.
• Has similar usage as MIG 316, but the 0.03% maximum carbon content increases resistance to intergranular corrosion.
• Flux coating provides smooth arc transfer and slag is self peeling for easy removal.
• Designed with low carbon levels to help eliminate carbide precipitation in high temperature service.
• Conforms to certification: AWS A5.9 and ASME SFA A5.9.
• Can be welded in any position except vertical down.
• Used primarily for welding low carbon molybdenum bearing austenitic alloys.
