E316LT

E316LT is a gas-shielded, flux cored, stainless steel electrode is composed of 19% chromium, 12.5% nickel, 2.5% molybdenum and no more than 0.04% carbon. The molybdenum in E316LT improves resistance to pitting and provides increased creep resistance. Its low carbon content minimizes carbide precipitation and resists intergranular corrosion. A smooth arc transfer with minimal spatter. Produces finely rippled, well washed bead. Handles marine environments. Minimizes cleanup time.

Applications

E316LT finds wide usage in the pulp and paper industry, chemical and textile processing equipment, furnace parts and parts exposed to marine environments. It is used to weld Type 316 stainless and other similar alloys, such as ASTM A743 and A744, and Types CF-8M and CF-3M.
