RATNA 316L (AWS A5.4 E316L-16)

Extra low carbon, rutile coated 18/12/2.3 Mo stainless steel Electrode

Classification:

AWS/SFA-5.4: E 316L-16
IS-5206: E 19.12.2LR 26, BS 19123LR
Approval: LRA, TOYO, PDIL

Characteristics:

Extra low carbon, rutile coated electrode with 18/12/2.3 Mo stainless steel composition. Offers excellent resistance to corrosion, heat, and cracking. Weld metal has creep resistance and radiographic quality, with stable and smooth arc, easy slag detachability, and almost spatter-free welding.

Application:

Suitable for AISI 316L and 317L stainless steels.
Chemical, dyes, paint, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and fertilizer industries.
Used in chemical tanks, paper mill equipment, bleaching equipment, chemical plants, and textile plants.
Suitable for welding titanium and niobium stabilized 18-12 steels such as SS 2344 & 2345, except under severe corrosive conditions.

Re-Dry Condition:

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