About E 309L -16

AWS-classified, ultra-low carbon stainless steel welding electrode (23% Cr, 12% Ni) with a titania-type flux (the "-16" part), designed for joining similar stainless steels or dissimilar metals like stainless to carbon/low alloy steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance, crack resistance, and suitability for AC/DC all-position welding, ideal for petrochemical and synthetic fiber equipment.

Key Characteristics & Features:

Composition: Deposits an extra-low carbon (L) weld metal, typically 23% Chromium and 12% Nickel, with high ferrite content for crack resistance.
Coating (-16): A rutile (titania) type coating for smooth arc, good usability, and excellent slag removal, allowing AC or DC+ operation.
Weldability: All-position capability (flat, vertical, overhead) with excellent mechanical properties and resistance to high-temperature oxidation/scaling.
Corrosion Resistance: The low carbon content prevents carbide precipitation, improving resistance to intergranular corrosion, especially important for dissimilar joints.

Typical Applications:

Joining stainless steels (like AISI 309/309L) to themselves.
Welding dissimilar metals: Stainless steel to carbon or low-alloy steels.
Buffer layers on clad steels or for overlaying low alloy steels.
Equipment in the petrochemical, synthetic fiber, and nuclear industries.

Usage Notes:

Requires baking (drying) before use.
Use DC+ or AC, lower currents, and minimize heat input to control dilution and prevent cracking, as noted by Ador Welding and D&H Secheron.
