AWS Chemical Composition Requirements
C = 0.08 – 0.20 Si = 0.75 max
Cr = 25.0 – 28.0 P = 0.03 max
Ni = 20.0 – 22.5 S = 0.03 max

Cu = 0.75 max

Application
E310-16 electrodes were developed for the welding of type 310 stainless steel; weld deposit will exhibit the same chemical analysis and oxidation resistance as the base plate metal. E310-16 is considered a general purpose electrode for welding almost every analysis of carbon and alloy steel. Preheating to 300 to 500F produces strong crack-free welds in dissimilar steels.
