AWS А5.4 / SFA-5.4: Е316 / Е316L-16
CSA W48:E316L-16
EN ISO 3581-А-E 19 12 3 L R 1 2
Terms of use
  • they are used for welding in all spatial positions, except vertical down one
  • welding is recommended to be performed at the highest possible speed without transverse oscillations of the electrode
Special properties
  • high resistance to acids, as well as to general and intergranular corrosion at temperatures up to 400°C (752°F)
  • characterized by high welding and technological properties, stable arc burning, easy slag removal, as well as good seam formation with a smooth transition to the base metal.
Monolith M-316L-16 electrodes are designed for welding corrosion-resistant austenitic Cr-Ni-Mo steels, such as AISI 316, AISI 318, AISI 316L,1.4435, X2CrNiMo17-12-3, X2CrNiMo18-14-3, 00Cr17Ni14Mo3, S31600, etc., as well as for parts working at operating temperature up to 400°C (752°F). The electrodes are suitable for welding of boiler housings, tanks and equipment for waste oils, for coking plants, equipment operating in contact with seawater, equipment parts in the chemical, textile and pulp and paper industries, as well as equipment for the production of wool and artificial silk.
