SMOOTHARC S 316L ELECTRODE 4.0mm 3KG/PK

Description

Smootharc S 316L is a rutile coated, low carbon, 19 Cr, 12 Ni, 3 Mo, AC/DC electrode for the high quality welding of molybdenum alloyed, acid resisting austenitic stainless steels of the 316/316L type. The electrode is very easy to strike and restrike. Welding performance is excellent with a very smooth, low spatter arc producing a finely rippled bead surface with excellent slag detachability. Fillet welds have a slightly concave profile with excellent toe line blend-in.

Smootharc S 316L is recommended for single and multi-pass welding of molybdenum alloyed austenitic stainless steels 316 and 316L. It is also suitable for welding the Nb or Ti stabilised steels, provided service temperatures are below 400°C. Austenitic stainless steels of the 316/316L type may be used for applications such as food handling equipment, structures in marine environments, heat exchangers, chemical storage and transportation tanks, oil refining equipment and pharmaceutical equipment.
