What is 309L 16 welding rod used for?

What is 309L 16 welding rod used for?

Arcaloy 309L-16 is used for welding carbon and low alloy steels to stainless steels. This can be done provided the service temperature does not exceed about 700°F (370°C). Post weld heat treatment should only be performed after due consideration.

What is the difference between 308L-16 and 308L 17?

All-Position and very similar to 308L-16, but the -17 coating contains more silica and less titanium resulting in a “spray arc” effect when used on horizontal fillet welds. This also produces a weld deposit with a finer ripple appearance that is more flat to concave.

What E309 16?

E309-16 is primarily intended for welding heat resistant austenitic Chromium-Nickel steels of similar analysis such as AISI 309 or 309S. Also suitable for joining dissimilar metals such as 18Cr-8Ni stainless steel to mild steel and welding clad surfaces of steel.

When would you use a 308 welding rod?

ER308L (including ER308LSi) is predominately used on austenitic stainless steels, such as types 301, 302, 304, 305 and cast alloys CF-8 and CF-3. For high temperature applications such as in the electrical power industry, the high carbon 308H electrode provides better creep resistance than does 308L.

What is 309L wire used for?

Used for welding similar alloys in wrought or cast form. Occasionally used for welding 18-8 base metals when severe corrosion conditions exist, and, at times, welding dissimilar steels. Conforms to AWS A5. 9.

What does the L stand for in 308L?

The “L” following the alloy type indicates “low carbon”, a consideration when sensitization is a concern.

Can you weld stainless with mild steel rod?

The most important thing to get right is the proper stick rod for dissimilar metal welding. The best stick rod for welding stainless to mild steel is the E309L-16. This rod has high chromium and nickel content. It’s also designed to prevent hot cracking.
