Classification
| AWS class | E316-26 |
|---|---|
| EN ISO class | E 19 12 2 R 53 |
Purpose
- High-output rutile Cr-Ni-Mo 18.5/11/2.7 electrode (~E316-26, ~150% efficiency), for joining and surfacing stainless steel onto carbon steel.
Why it works
High-output synthetic coating, high-current capable — built for flat/horizontal-fillet production welding, both for joining stainless to carbon steel and for cladding carbon steel with stainless.
Fields of application
- Joining of stainless steel to carbon steel.
- Surfacing of stainless steel onto carbon steel.

Equivalence refers to the classification (AWS / EN ISO), not to product identity. In applications with a qualified procedure (WPS), validate the substitution before use.
Advantages
- ~150% deposition efficiency.
- High-current capable.
- Weldable on DC+ or AC.
Limitations
- Flat and horizontal-fillet position only (PA/PB).
