Classification

AWS classE 308 L-15
EN ISO classE 19 9 L B 22

Purpose

  • Basic-coated variant of INX 308L — same low-carbon Cr-Ni 19/10, more toughness than the rutile variant (90 J vs 47 J).

Why it works

Same core as INX 308L R 16/17, but basic-coated: the manufacturer's impact test gives almost double the toughness (90 J vs the rutile's 47 J) and more elongation (40% vs 35%) — the better choice when deposit toughness matters more than ease of handling.

Fields of application

  • AISI 304, 304L, 304LN, 321, 347, 302 and 13% Cr ferritic steels.
