SME 308-16 is a Stainless Steel electrode with controlled Ferrite content of 3 to 7% for maximum resistance to cracking, corrosion and high temperatures up to 800°C. It is suitable for welding performance in all positions and has high resistance to cracking It gives arc stability and low spatter loss. All sizes strike and re-strike easily. The slag is easily controlled and does not interfere with the arc action. Weld beads are smooth, and of good appearance.
In SME 308L-16, the weld deposit contains a maximum of .04% carbon, which minimizes the formation of chromium carbides, and consequent susceptibility to intergranular corrosion. The weld deposit, with controlled ferrite, gives excellent notch toughness. The slag is easily controlled and does not interfere with the arc action. Weld beads are smooth, and of good appearance.
SME 309-16 is a rutile type stainless steel electrode suitable for welding of AIS1 309 grade in cast or wrought form. The weld-metal has good resistance to corrosion The slag is easily controlled and does not interfere with the arc action. Weld beads are smooth, and of good appearance.
SME 309L-16 is a rutile type extra low carbon stainless steel electrode suitable for welding of AISI 309 grade in cast or wrought form. The weld-metal has good resistance to corrosion The slag is easily controlled and does not interfere with the arc action. Weld beads are smooth, and of good appearance.
Senor SME 310-16 is a basic rutile electrode for welding heat resistant steels like 25Cr/20Ni. Weld metal resists scaling up to 1100-1150°C.
