Description :

SS-316 is rutile electrode. It possesses properties similar to SS-316 except with a much lower carbon content which reduces susceptibility to sensitization during welding. The welds show high resistance to corrosion and fissuring. This makes it outstanding choice for critical applications. Excellent for welding stainless steel types 316, 316-L and 318.

Applications :

Typical applications include stainless steel piping and vessels in oil and gas industry, refineries and chemical and petro-chemical plants.

Note On Usage :

1. Rebake the electrodes at 200°C for 1 hour and keep it at 100°C prior to use.

2. Use stainless steel wire brush for cleaning of slags.

3. Follow the recommeded welding parameters to achieve good sound welds.
