Welding of extra-low carbon 18%Cr-12%Ni-2%Mo (316L stainless steel).

S-316L.16N is a lime-titania type electrode provided with a good usability and weldability.
As the all-weld metal has an austenite structure containing proper quantity of ferrite, crack resistibility is good. It has an excellent resistibility to inter-crystalline corrosion in the as-welded condition since carbon content is less and intergranular corrosion resistibility is superior to that of S-316.16N, and as it contains Mo., resistance to heat is also good.
S-316L.17 has a high moisture resistance and good porosity resistibility.

① Weaving width should be within two and a half times of electrode’s diameter.
② Remove dirts such as oil and dust from the groove.
③ Dry the electrodes at 350℃(662℉) for 60 minutes before use.
