GRINOX 16L E316L-16
CLASSIFICATION
AWS/SFA 5.4: E 316L–16 IS 5206: E19.12.2 LR16
DESCRIPTION
A medium heavy coated rutile type stainless steel electrode depositing low carbon 18/13/2.5 Mo austenitic stainless steel weld metal. Deposited weld metal has very high resistance to hot cracking, chemical corrosion upto 800°C and stress corrosion cracking. Molybdenum imparts resistance to corrosion of reducing nature. The deposited weld metal is of radiographic quality.
