Stainless Steel Electrode
ER316/316L is used for welding types 316 and 316L stainless steels. It has a maximum carbon content of .03% to reduce the possibility of formation of intergranular carbide precipitation. This low carbon alloy is not as strong as 316H at elevated temperatures. This filler metal is primarily used for welding low carbon molybdenum bearing austenitic alloys.
