NSS-316L

Specification

Description

• NSS-316L  is designed for welding 18/8 Mo stainless steels and AISI types 316, 316L, and 317 austenitic stainless steel
• Austenitic and corrosion-resistant weld deposit of low carbon ensures intergranular carbide precipitation
• Good resistance to piting and crevice corrosion
• High deposition rate and efficiency
• Self-peeling slag
• Finished welds exhibit a slightly concave shape with good cosmetic appearance that requires little to no post weld dressing
• Ideal for both fillet and butt welding applications

Application

• General stainless steel fabrication
• Repair of textile and other dyeing equipment
• Paper tanks, chemical tanks, pickling tanks, salt processing equipment, and alkali tanks

Remarks

Clean the joints of all foreign material

Proceed with the lowest current possible and a short arc without allowing coating to touch molten spool

Short and intermittent welding is preferred to avoid overheating and distortion

Avoid excessive weaving

Use dry electrodes to prevent blow holes in deposit

If necessary, re-dry at 200ºC for two hours before use
