SAFINOX R 316L

SAFINOX R 316L is a semi-basic MMA electrode suitable for the welding of austenitic steels Cr-Ni steels or cast steels containing 16-20%Cr, 10-14%Ni and 2-3%Mo, i.e. AISI 316 and 316L, having an extra low carbon content. This electrode can also be used for welding of stainless steels of the same type whether stabilised or not for services temperatures up to +400°C. This electrode offers excellent operability and is particularly suitable for downhand butt and fillet welding applications, the 2.5mm and 3.2mm diameter electrodes can be used for positional welding. Exhibits a stable spray arc transfer resulting in excellent weld bead shape and appearance with a slight concave profile in horizontal vertical fillet welds. There is very little spatter and in combination with the self-releasing slag, post welding cleaning time is maintained to a minimum. Under wet corrosive conditions suitable for operating temperatures up to 400°C, resistant to scaling up to 800°C.
