NSW-316L

Specification

AWS Specification: AWS E316L-16
JIS Specification: D316-16
Other Specification: DIN ETi1912326

Description

NSW-316 is a stainless steel electrode designed for welding 18/8/Mo stainless steels, AISI 316, 316L, and 317 austenitic stainless steel
Features austenitic and corrosion-resistant weld deposit of low carbon 19% Cr-12% Ni-2.8% Mo, which ensures against intergranular carbide precipitation, good resistance to pitting corrosion, and crevice corrosion by non-oxidizing acids intended applications where service temperatures do not exceed 400ºC
High deposition rate and efficiency
Self-peeling slag
The finished welds exhibit a slightly concave shape with a good cosmetic appearance and requires little to no post weld dressing.
Ideal for both fillet and butt welding applications

Application

Fabrication and repair of textile and other dyeing equipment, such as paper mill tanks, chemical tanks and equipment, pickling tanks, salt processing equipment, alkali tanks, etc.

Remarks

Clean joints of all foreign materials

Use lowest current possible and short arc without allowing coating to touch molten pool

Short and intermittent welding is to be preferred to avoid overheating and distortion

Avoid excessive weaving

Use dry electrodes to prevent blowholes in deposit

If necessary, re-dry at 200�C for 2 hours before use
