DETAILS
ER308L-16 Stainless steel SMAW (Stick) welding electrode is used to weld base metals of similar composition such as AISI types 301, 302, 304, 305 and 308 (and L series). The .04% carbon increases resistance to intergranular corrosion by reducing carbide preciptation.
Features
- Stainless steel 308L-16 electrode welds base metals of similar composition
- Restricted carbon content (0.08%) improves mechanical properties
- 90,000 psi tensile strength (as welded)
- 61,000 psi yield strength (as welded)
- 41% elongation; 60% reduction of area (as welded)
- 89 HRB Rockwell B hardness (as welded)
- 180 HB Brinell hardness (as welded)
- 90 ft./lb. @ room temperature Charpy V (as welded)
- Conforms to ANSI/AWS A5.9/A5.9M:2017 & ASME SFA 5.9 ER 308L-16
