Application
E309L-16 is designed for welding heat resistant base metals of similar compositions. It was also designed to weld dissimilar materials and for stainless steel overlays or plain carbon or low-alloy steels.

E309L-16 is preferred to E309-16 for cladding over carbon or low alloy steels, as well as dissimilar joints which undergo heat treatment.
