Description

E308L-16 is a rutile-low hydrogen potassium stainless steel electrode designed for welding austenitic stainless steels such as 18-8 stainless steels (e.g., 304, 304L). With low carbon content  and high chromium-nickel composition, it provides excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion, particularly in applications where post-weld heat treatment is impractical. The rutile-low hydrogen potassium coating ensures stable arc, minimal spatter, and easy slag removal, making it suitable for all-position welding.

KEY FEATURES

  • Low Carbon Content: The low carbon content (<0.03%) helps minimize the risk of carbide precipitation during welding, which enhances corrosion resistance.
  • Good Corrosion Resistance: Particularly effective in environments where resistance to oxidation, intergranular corrosion, and general corrosion is required.
  • Excellent Weldability: Provides smooth, easy-to-control arcs, low spatter, and excellent bead appearance.
  • All position welding
  • Suitable for chemical process industries,food and beverage industry,pressure vessels
