RATNA 308L (AWS A5.4 E308L-16)

Low Carbon Stainless Steel Electrode Welding For Maximum Resistance to Corrosion

Classification:

AWS/SFA-5.4: E 308L-16
IS-5206: E 19.9LR 26

Approval:

LR, RDSO (Class M2), NPCIL

Characteristics:

An extra low carbon 19/10 stainless steel electrode with properties like resistance to oxidation, resistance to cracking at high temperature. The extra low carbon decreases the possibility of intra-granular corrosion. The electrode gives smooth arc, fine bead appearance, and shiny finish.

Application:

Suitable for joining AISI 301L, 302L, 304L and 308L steel having 18Cr/8Ni with low carbon content.
Welding for clad steels of similar composition.
Overlays in un-alloyed, low alloy steels etc.

Re-Dry Condition:

Re-dry the electrode at 250°C for 1 hrs before use.
