DETAILS

LINCOLNWELD® 316/316L has a 2-3% molybdenum content which improves pitting corrosion resistance of the weld deposit, while the low carbon content reduces the possibility of carbide precipitation and intergranular corrosion.

Features

  • Designed to be used primarily with basic fluxes that recover nearly all of the wire chromium in the deposit
  • Low carbon content recommended where there is a risk of intergranular corrosion
  • The 2-3% molybdenum improves pitting corrosion resistance of the weld deposit
  • Low carbon content reduces the possibility of carbide precipitation and intergranular corrosion

Typical Applications

  • ASTM A743, A744 Types CF-8 and CF-3
  • Developed for welding type 316 and 316L stainless steels
  • For joining the more common austenitic stainless steel grades referred to as “18-8” steels
  • For very good corrosion resistance in acid environments
