316L series Stainless-Steel welding rods for general purpose welding of matching 316, 316L & other common stainless steels, including; 300 series, 301, 302, 304, 304L, 3Cr12, 409, 444. All-positional (except vertical-down), smooth arc, low spatter, excellent slag control/detachability and high quality weld appearance.
Features:
- For general purpose welding of common, matching stainless steels
- Good resistance to pitting, acids and general corrosion
- All positional, except vertical-down
- Smooth arc, low spatter, excellent slag control/detachability and high quality weld appearance
- Easy to use & suitable for low OCV (open circuit voltage) welding machines (>45V)
Applications:
- Deposits Molybdenum bearing, 19% Cr / 12% Ni / 2.3% Mo filler metal to meet the requirements for welding AISI type 316 and 316L stainless steel in critical applications
- For welding of matching 316, 316L & other common stainless steels, including; 300 series (301, 302, 304, 304L, etc), and ferritic stainless steel alloys such as 409, 444 and 3Cr12
- Commonly used in; marine, wine making, dairy & similiar industries
Operations:
- All welding positions, excluding vertical down
- Polarity: DC+ or AC+ (electrode +)
- Minimum recommended OCV (open circuit voltage): 45V
- Avoid high / excessive current
- Use straight "stringer" bead (rather than weave) technique
