Stainless Steel Electrode
ER320LR has a composition similar to type 320, except that carbon, silicon, phosphorus, and sulfur levels are kept at lower levels as well as the columbium and manganese being specified at a narrower range. The low melting residuals are limited in this alloy to reduce the possibility of micro-fissuring. It is for this reason that this alloy is often used for welding type 320 stainless steels.
