DESCRIPTION 
A rutile type flux coated electrode which intended for welding of low carbon 23% Cr / 13% Ni / 2.5% Mo austenitic stainless steel of similar composition. The high alloy content and ferrite level enable the weld metal to tolerate dilution from mild and low alloy steels without hot cracking or brittle structure. It is widely used to apply buffer layers on steel components where final layers are to be deposited using 316L or other stainless steel electrodes. The deposited weld metal is of X-ray quality. The electrode is ideal for both fillet and butt welding applications. Type 309MoL weld metal is one of the most versatile for welding mixed combination of low and high alloy ferrous materials. It has superior tolerance to dilution than 309 or 309L because of its higher alloy and ferrite content.
