Bohler Welding – AVESTA 316L/SKR-4D
Rutile SMAW electrode, High-alloyed, austenitic stainless
Classification
AWS A5.4 E316L-17
EN ISO 3581-A E 19 12 3 L R 3 2
Characteristics and typical fields of application:
Rutile thin-coated electrode of E 19 12 3 L R / E316L-17 type. Specially developed for welding thin-walled pipes and sheets, mainly in the chemical process and papermaking industries. Highly suitable for welding restrained positions and under difficult site conditions, where it offers considerably higher productivity than manual TIG welding. It is also recommended for root runs and multi-pass welds in general fabrication of 1.4404 and 1.4436 / 316L type austenitic stainless steels. Excellent resistance to general, pitting and intergranular corrosion in chloride containing environments. Intended for severe conditions, e.g. in dilute hot acids. Scaling temperature approximately 850 °C in air.
