Maruthi SW 316L is designed for welding ASTM 316/316L used primarily with basic fluxes that recover nearly all of the wire chromium in the deposit. The low carbon content is recommended where there is a risk of intergranular corrosion.
The 2-3% molybdenum improves pitting corrosion resistance of the weld deposit. The low carbon content reduces the possibility of carbide precipitation and intergranular corrosion.
The typical application is used in welding ASTM A743, A744 types CF-8 and CF-3. More commonly used in joining austenitic stainless steel grades referred to as “18-8” steels. can find applications in Power Generation plants, and chemical and petrochemical processing units.
