AWS: SFA 5.4 E316L-15
EN ISO CODE:
Basic coated type electrode producing low carbon stainless steel weld, which has excellent to resistance to cracking even on heavy and restrained joints. It has exceptional quality in meeting stringent applications where sub zero temperatures properties are required. Balance Cr-Ni weld deposits with ferrite controlled below 2 FN ensure excellent resistance to the weld metal from formation of sigma phase, corrosion, oxidation and pitting at elevated temperatures. It is suitable for welding of AISI 316 and 316L, particularly when the ferrite in the weld deposit has to be controlled at a low level, as in the case of equipment for urea plant. The presence of Molybdenum enhances the corrosion resistance of the weld metal in reducing media as in urea service.
