309L-16/E309-16 Stainless Steel Electrode

E309/309L-16 is a stainless steel electrode idea; for joining stainless steels to themselves or carbon and lo-alloy steels. The weld metal’s maximum carbon concentration of.04% boosts resistance to intergranular corrosion. It is mainly used for welding heat-resistant austenitic Chromium-Nickel steels i.e. AISI 309 or 309S for comparable analyses. It is also suitable for joining dissimilar metals such as 18Cr-8Ni stainless steel to mild steel and welding clad surfaces of steel.
