DESCRIPTION
A basic coated all-position electrode intended for welding of low carbon, molybdenum alloyed, acid resisting austenitic stainless steel of similar composition (316 / 316L). Operability is excellent with a low spatter arc, producing an exceptionally good weld bead appearance. The deposited weld metal is of X-ray quality.
