Characteristics and Application

AWS A5.4 E316H-16 Welding rod, welding electrode The weld metal contains proper quantity of ferrite in austenitic structure. It provides higher strength and creep strength at high temperature due to higher carbon content. The corrosion resistance against acetic acid, sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid and crack resistance at high temperature can be improved by MO in 316H. It is suitable for chemical plants and LNG made by AISI 316H, SUS 3161-1, ASTM A813 TP316H, ASTM A826 TP316 etc. Base metal for TS-316H: stainless thin plate, pipe and pressure vessel plate.

Notes on usage:

1. Clean up the contaminations on the base metal, groove and pass to pass with stainless steel brush.
2. Maintain short arc length. Moving range should be controlled within 2.5 times of the wire's dia when you are welding with weave method.

3. Dry the electrodes at 300—350℃ for 60 minutes before using. Take out consumables for half day consumption and keep in the environment at 100—150℃ during welding process.

4. Use lower current to prevent from crack and minimize base metal dilution.
