Classification
| AWS class | E 308 L- 16 |
|---|---|
| EN ISO class | E 19 9 L R 32 |
Purpose
- Low-carbon (0.03% C) rutile Cr-Ni 19/10 electrode, for chemical, petrochemical and food industry service — corrosion and cracking resistant.
Why it works
Low carbon avoids chromium-carbide precipitation in the heat-affected zone — critical for steel that will contact chemicals or food, where intergranular corrosion isn't acceptable.
Fields of application
- AISI 304, 304L, 304LN, 321, 347, 302 and 13% Cr ferritic steels.
- Chemical, petrochemical and food industry.
