AWS A5.9: ER316H

AWS A5.9: ER316H

AWS A5.9: ER316H is a solid wire electrode for GMAW, suitable to weld austenitic stainless steels that will operate at high temperatures 500-800°C, under long term creep conditions. AWS A5.9: ER316H is also suitable for welding 321/321H and 347/347H grades for high temperature service. Recommended for welding steam piping, super heater headers for petro-chemical industry and power plants.
