E308L-16 X 5/32 Stainless Steel Electrode 5 lb Blue Demon
E308/308L-16 is an extra low carbon electrode for the welding of type 304L, 321, and 347 stainless steels. The controlled ferrite in the weld deposit gives excellent notch toughness at cryogenic temperatures. This electrode deposits a maximum of .04% carbon in the weld metal to minimize the formation of chromium carbides and consequent susceptibility to intergranular corrosion.AWS Specification AWS A5.4/A5.4M:2006 AWS Classification E308L/308L-16 Welding CurrentAC - DCEP Typical Wire Chemistry C 0.04 Cr 18.0 - 21.0 Ni 9.0 - 11.0 Mo 0.75 Mn 0.5 - 2.5 Si 1.00 P 0.04 S 0.03 Cu 0.75 Typical Mechanical Properties (As Welded) Yield Strength, ksi 54 Tensile Strength, ksi 75 Elongation%, min 35 Welding PositionsF,V,OH,H Available Diameters 1/16", 3/32", 1/8" & 5/32" Operating Range in Amps 1/16" 25 - 35 3/32" 55 - 75 1/8" 75 - 110 5/32" 90 - 140
