Application
E316-16 electrodes are designed for the welding to type 316 chromium-nickel steel. This alloy contains 2% to 3% molybdenum is addition to sufficient chromium and nickel to render is austenitic. Molybdenum is added to increase the corrosion resistance of the alloy to a firm attack know as pitting, which is induced by such corrosive metals as sulfuric and sulfurous acids, sulfites, chloride and cellulose solutions.
