Characteristics:
The weld metal of LKE-316L is a 18%Cr-12%Ni-2%Mo.It possesses properties to LKE-316 except with a much lower carbon content which reduces susceptibility to sensitization during welding.
Applications:
It is suitable for welding of AISI 316,316L and cladding stainless steel.
Notes on Usage:
1.Dry the electrodes at 200-250°C for 60 minutes and keep at 100-150°C before use.
2.Use lower currents and keep the arc as short as possible
