DETAILS
Features/Characteristics
SME 308-16 composition of the weld metal is 19.5Cr, & 10Ni, electrodes of this composition are most often used to weld base metal of similar composition such as AISI Types 301, 302, 304, and 305. E308-16 electrodes provide corrosion resistance and physical properties equal to or greater than the steels for which they are recommended.
SME 308-16 Welding Rod Uses/Applications
- Used to weld base metal of similar composition, Typical applications include dairy, distillery and restaurant equipment, and chemical tanks.
- SME308-16 is designed for welding of the following 18-8 stainless steel types: 301,302,304 and 308.
- The weld deposit has the proper chemical content and balance for satisfactory welding of type 308,
- Suitable for welding 18-8 types of lower alloy content. Sound weld metal.
Re-drying Conditions
To obtain best results Re-dry the Electrodes at 300°C for 1 hour (optionally available in vacuum packed Condition, re-drying not required in this packaging)
