SS 308-16
TITANIA TYPE

AWS A5.4 E308L-16
BS EN 1600. E19 9 LR 12
ISO 3581 E 19.9 LR

For Low Carbon
18%Cr-8%Ni Stainless Steel

Characteristics and Applications:
HERO TECH SS308L-16 is a titania type electrode, all position. The electrode contains low carbon to avert carbide precipitation during welding as well as service. Preheating and post-weld heat treatment are not necessary. It is suitable for welding  of AISI 304L, and AISI-321 steel.

Notes on Usage:

1. Keep dry, if damp, dry the electrodes at 150°C for 30 minus before use.
2. For X-ray quality level, dry at 250°C for 30 minutes.
3. Clean up the contaminations to prevent the intergranular corrosion.
