Characteristics:
LFC-316L is designed for 100% CO2 gas and all-position welding. It performs with excellent slag removal, almost spatter-free and high intergranular corrosion resistance to pressure vessel application.
Applications:
It is suitable for welding 18%Cr-12%Ni-2%Mo stainless steel including type of 316, 316L, CF-8M and CF-3M.
Notes on Usage:
- Use 100% CO2 shielding gas.
- Keep dry while in storage and delivery.
- Trailer Shield is required to ensure the weld pool completely shield until solidification is complete and no porosity problem
- To get enough penetration in the downhand welding position recommend maintaining a higher welding speed.
