Applications
Welding of all chromium-nickel steel with low or medium C content, as well as titamium and niobium stabilized chromium-nickel steel of 18%Cr-8%Ni-2%Mo type, e.g. material DIN No. 1.4401, 1.4404, 1.4435, 1.4436, 1.4571, 1.4573, 1.4580, 1.4583, AISI 316, 316L, 318.
Characteristics
YAWATA 316L-16 is a rutile high-alloy extra-low carbon electrode (ELC) for non-stabilized and stabilized chromium-nickel steels resistant to atmospheric corrosion of the  18%Cr-8%Ni-2%Mo type. Resistant to grain disintegration of operating temperatures up to 350?. Smooth running, good striking and restriking. Regular appearance. Finely rippled, smooth junction, easy slag removal.
