Features & Applications
E308L-16 is used for welding stainless steel structures that fabricated by 022Cr19Ni10 or 06Cr18Ni11Ti (e.g.304L or 308L) stainless steel, which work temperature lower than 300°C, such as facilities of synthetic fibre,fertilizer, petrochemical equipment and so on. The weld metal has good resistance to intercrystalline corrosion.

Notice:
1. The rod should be baked at 300°C -350°C for 1 hours before use.
2. The surfaces to be welded must be cleaned away impurities of oil contamination, rust, moisture and so on
3. Smaller curent & short arc are recommended in welding and weave beads no wider than 2.5 times of the diameter of the core rod is better.
