Characteristics and Application

AWS A5.4 E317L-16 Welding rod, welding electrode The weld metal is a 19%Cr-12%Ni-3%Mo stainless steel containing proper quantity of ferrite. It provides good corrosion resistance to sulfuric acid or organic acid due to its MO content. also In addition, low content of carbon enhances the resistance of inter-granular corrosion. It is suitable for welding of chemical vessels, seamless pipe, steel tube, steel strip, casting and AISI 317/317L steel.

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.
