DETAILS

LINCOLN® ER316/316L provides improved pitting corrosion resistance due to the 2-3% molybdenum content, while the 0.03% maximum carbon content increases resistance to intergranular corrosion. Also used in high temperature service applications.

Features

  • The 2-3% molybdenum improves pitting corrosion resistance of the weld deposit
  • Molybdenum grade increases corrosion resistance
  • Use for high temperature service applications
  • 0.03% carbon content increases resistance to intergranular corrosion
  • Ink jet printing identification on entire length of electrode
  • Q2 Lot® - Certificate showing actual wire composition and calculated ferrite number (FN) available online

Typical Applications

  • Sheet metal
  • High pressure piping and tubing
  • Use for welding similar alloys containing approximately 2% molybdenum
  • Food Processing
  • Pharmaceutical Processing

Welding Positions

  • All

Shielding Gas

  • 100% Argon
