▶︎ Characteristics:
It is austenitic stainless steel filler metal for welding of 18%Cr-12%Ni-2%Mo types. The molybdenum increased pitting corrosion resistance. The low carbon content improved intergranular corrosion.
▶︎ Applications:
Typical applications include welding of 18%Cr-12%Ni-2%Mo stainless steel in chemical, oil and gas refineries.
▶︎ Notes on Usage:
1. For TIG process, use DC(-) current , Argon Shield and Tungsten Electrode.
▶︎ Classification:
AWS A5.9 ER316L
JIS Z3321 Y316L
