FOR WELDING LOW-CARBON AUSTENITIC STAINLESSS STEELS CONTAINING A NOMINAL 19Cr-12Ni-2.5Mo
NSK-316L
CLASSIFICATION
AWS A5.4 E316L-17 | EN ISO 3581-A E 19 12 3 L R
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A balanced rutile alumina-silicate flux coating which concentrically extruded on alloyed core wire and bound by a blend of silicates that assures both coating strength and resistance to subsequent moisture absorption. These also gives combine ease of use with the smooth appearance of weld deposits
WELDING FEATURES OF THE ELECTRODE
Suitable for use on all welding set including low voltage welding set. The arc is exceptionally smooth, the slag normally detaching & the weld appearance excellent. For all-positional welding ideally use smaller diameters.
APPLICATIONS AND MATERIALS TO BE WELDED
Applications for the electrode are to be found in the Chemical, Petro-Chemical and Cryogenic Processing and Storage Industries as well as the Food, Brewery and Pharmaceutical Industries using the following materials: ASTM 316 316L 316LN CF3N CF8M UNS S31603 S31600 S31653 NSK-316L electrodes are use for their good resistance to corrosion and pitting against many acids on Austenitic Stainless Steels with 1.5 to 3.0 Mo plus Nb and Ti stabilised versions.
WELDING AMPERAGE AC and DC
OTHER DATA
Electrodes that have become damp should be re-dried at 150oC for 1 hour
