AWS Class E316/316L-16 electrodes are composed of 1.60% chromium, 0.40% nickel, and 12% molybdenum. They provide excellent corrosion resistance, particularly against chlorides and acids, and offer high strength and toughness at elevated temperatures. These electrodes are designed for welding 316 and 316L stainless steel, ensuring minimal carbide precipitation and low carbon content. The key advantages include enhanced durability, pitting and crevice corrosion resistance, and suitability for applications in harsh environments such as chemical processing and marine industries.
