E312-16
Alloy Type: A5.4, STAINLESS STEEL Covered Arc Welding Electrodes
E312-16 is used for welding type 316L or 318 stainless steels. It has a maximum of .04% carbon content in the weld metal, which reduces the possibility of carbine precipitation and consequent intergranular corrosion. This electrode is widely used in the welding of chemical equipment.
Typical Applications:
Used for welding wrought and cast alloys as well as for welding dissimilar metals
