ER316L Spools Weldcote

ER316/316L is used for welding types 316
and 316L stainless steels. It has a maximum
carbon content of .03% to reduce the
possibility of formation of intergranular
carbide precipitation. This low carbon alloy
is not as strong as 316H at elevated
temperatures. This filler metal is primarily
used for welding low carbon molybdenum
bearing austenitic alloys.
