ARF SS-316


  • Classifications :
    AWS : E 316 16
    IS      : E 19 12.2 R 16

  • Characteristics :
    Stainarc 316 is a rutile coated AC/DC(+) electroed designed for welding in all conventional welding positions. It yields a controlled ferrite, 18% Cr Ni 11% Mo2.3% stainless steel weld metal having excellent mechanical propertise in combination with high creep strength and is of radiographic quality The weld metal composition has been fiund favourable in fabrication and repair of plant and equipment in rayon, dye and paper industries and for service in sulphuri and sulphurous acids. The electrode has excellent arc stability and low spatter loss. All sizes strike and restrike easily. Advantages:soft and stable arc Which is easy to beads are smooth, unifrom and of excellent appearance.

  • Applictions :
    Staiarc 316 is ideally sutied for joining as well as surfacing of unstabillesd Cr-18,Ni-8,Mo-2 stinless steels and cald steels of similar composition, Commonly used in chemical tanks, coils and vats that are exposed to severe Corrosion by suphuric sulphorous, hydrochloric, acetic, phosphoric,citric ets. It useful in chemical, pup and paper industries.

  • All Weld :
    C = 0.07 Max
    Mn = 2.50 Max

  • Meetal properties :
    Si = 0.90 Max
    Cr = 17.0-20.0
    Ni = 11.0-14.0
    Mo = 2.0-2.5

  • All Weld :
    UTS = 560-660 N/mm2

  • Mechanical properties :
    Elong(%) = 30-40


  • Precautions :
    Redry the Electrodes at 200'C for one hour. Cool to 50'C-60'C in same oven for Use.
