Description
Characteristics:
It is modified 316L austenitic stainless steel to higher silicon content to improve welding properties such as higher welding speed. With excellent creep strength and resistance to pitting corrosion.
Applications:
Typical applications include welding of 18%Cr-12%Ni-2%Mo stainless steel in chemical, oil and gas refineries.
Notes on Usage:
1. For TIG process, use DC(-) current, Argon Shield and Tungsten Electrode.
2. For MIG process, use Spray Transfer or Short Circuit Transfer mode.
3. 98%Argon – 2%O₂ shielding gas is recommended in MIG process.
