ALPHA 316 is a low carbon, medium heavy coated, rutile based electrode for welding in all positions 18/8/Mo austenitic stainless steels. The presence of Molybdenum in weld metal provides excellent corrosion and creep resistance properties at elevated temperatures up to 850 0C.. Ferrite content is controlled between 4-8% which gives maximum resistance to cracking and corrosion. The electrode produces crack free, radiographic quality welds. It operates equally well on AC and DC (+). Easy striking and restricting, soft and stable arc, low spatter, easy slag detachability is the main characteristics.
