Stainless Steel

ARF SS-308-L


  • Classifications :
    AWS : E 308 L 16
    IS      : E 19.9 LR 16

  • Characteristics :
    Stainarc 308-L is a semi basic coated electrode developed to deposit extra low carbon 19 Cr, 10 Ni weld metal with controlled ferrite, carbon 19 Cr, 10 Ni type metal. Weld metal suitable for high which is highly resistance to intergranular corrosion, cracking oxidation and scaling at elevated temperature. Especially noted for arc stabillity, and low spatter loss. All sizes strike and re strike easily. The slag is easily controlled and dos not interfere with the arc action Weld beads are smooth, unifrom and of excellent appearance.

  • Applictions :
    Stainarc 308L is especially designed for Weding of stainless steel of A ISI grade 301.302,304,304L,308,308L and their cast versions used for dairies hospital apparatus, nuclear plants, food stuff and chemical process industries.

  • All Weld :
    C = 0.04 Max
    Mn = 0.5-2.5

  • Meetal properties :
    Si = 0.3-0.9
    S = 0.03 Max
    P = 0.03 Max
    cr = 18.0-21.0
    Ni = 9.0-11.0

  • All Weld :
    UTS = 530-650 N/mm2

  • Mechanical properties :
    Elong = 35-45


  • Precautions :
    Keep the electrodes dry In case of moisture pick-up redry at 150'C.for two hours. Use lowest possible current,short arc and stringer bead. Clean the weld area thoroughly free of any surace contaminations.
