RATNA 316LF (AWS A5.4 E316L-16(Nr.))

Extra low carbon 18/12/2.3 Mo stainless steel Electrode controlled ferrite content 2%.

Classification:

AWS/SFA-5.4: E 316L-16 (Nr.)
IS-5206: E 19.12.2LR 26 (Nr.)

Characteristics:

An extra low carbon, rutile coated 18/12/2.3 Mo stainless steel electrode with controlled ferrite content 2% max. Resistant to corrosion and cracking. The weld metal is creep resistant and of radiographic quality with stable and smooth arc, easy slag detachability and spatter free welding.

Application:

Suitable for welding AISI 316 and 316L steels where ferrite content in weld deposit is restricted to less than 2% and for corrosion resistance application.
Suitable for corrosion resistance required welding such as pickling plates, chemical plants.
Welding and cladding of 316L UREA GRADE steels.

Re-Dry Condition:

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