DETAILS
Features/Characteristics
Senor SME 316L-16 an extra low Carbon, SS electrode with controlled Ferrite content of 3 to 8% for maximum resistance to cracking. It possesses properties similar to SME 316-16 except with a much lower carbon content which reduces susceptibility to sensitization during welding. Weld metal is resistant to Stress Corrosion cracking, Hot Cracking, Chemical corrosion at high temp. upto 850°C. The slag is easily controlled and does not interfere with the arc action. Weld beads are smooth, and of good appearance.
SME 316L-16 Welding Rod Uses/Applications
- Welding Stainless Steel types 316, 316-L and 318
- Stainless steel piping and vessels in oil and gas industry,
- For welding in refineries and chemical and petro-chemical plants.
- For welding of equipments in Chemical industries, Paper and Pulp industry, Paint and Dye industries
Welding Positions
F, H, V-up, OH
Re-drying Conditions
