CROMAROD® 316L is a rutile flux coated AC/DC electrode intended for welding the low carbon, molybdenum alloyed, acid resisting austenitic stainless steels of similar composition (316L). Operability is excellent with a smooth low spatter arc producing an exceptionally good weld bead appearance. Fillet welds have a smooth surface, slightly concave profile with excellent toe line blend-in and a self-releasing slag. The electrode is all positional up to and including 3.25 mm diameter. CROMAROD® 316L is suitable for welding normal carbon 316 type grades and also Nb or Ti stabilised steels, provided service temperatures are below 400 °C. For 316 material grades used at elevated temperatures, CROMAROD® 318 is recommended.
