E316LT0-1
AWS A5.22 CLASS E 316LT0-1/-4
E316LT0-1 is a flux cored wire for single or multi-pass welds on stainless steels. E316LT0-1 is noted for its low spatter generation, excellent bead shape and appearance, and ease of slag removal. It has very good deposit efficiency when used for flat and fillet welds of medium and heavy thickness plates. It has been designed to be used with 100% CO2 or 75-80% Argon + balance CO2 mixed shield gas. E316LT0-1 provides weld deposits with optimum ferrite content as its austenitic structure resulting in low susceptibility to cracking. The extra-low carbon content of E316LT0-1 provides excellent resistance to inter-granular corrosion and stress corrosion
Applications:
E316LT0-1 is used extensively in the fabrication of 18% Cr 12% Ni 2% Mo stainless steel structures, pressure vessels, tanks in dairy, pulp and paper, textile dyeing, refinery, and chemical equipment The extra-low carbon content reduces carbide precipitation. E316LT0-1 can be used
to weld stainless steels of similar compositions when welds are required to meet higher corrosion resistance and higher creep strength requirements along with intergranular corrosion resistancerequirements.
