E316LT-1 is a gas-shielded, flux-cored welding wire for low-carbon stainless steels (like 316L), offering excellent corrosion resistance and all-position welding capability using DC+ polarity with CO2 or Argon/CO2 gas, ideal for chemical, marine, and food processing equipment due to its low carbon content minimizing carbide precipitation and preventing intergranular corrosion. It produces smooth welds, easy slag removal, and low spatter, making it efficient for high deposition rates.
Key Characteristics:
Classification: AWS E316LT1-1 (or similar like -4).
Material: For welding 18%Cr-12%Ni-2%Mo stainless steels (e.g., Type 316L).
Low Carbon (LT): The "L" signifies low carbon (typically <0.03%), enhancing resistance to intergranular corrosion, notes Washington Alloy.
