Avesta 316L - TIG rod, high-alloyed, high corrosion resistant. Avesta 316L is designed for welding austenitic stainless steel of type 17 Cr 12 Ni 2.5 Mo or similar. The filler metal is also suitable for welding titanium and niobium stabilized steels such as ASTM 316Ti and ASTM 316Nb in cases where the construction is used at temperatures not exceeding 400 °C. For higher temperatures, a niobium stabilized consumable such as Avesta 318- Si/SKNb-Si is required. Avesta 316L/SKR is also available with high silicon content (316L-Si/SKRSi). The higher silicon content will improve fluidity and minimize the spatter, giving a nicer weld bead appearance. Structure: Austenite with 5 - 10 % ferrite. Scaling temperature: Approx. 850 °C (air). Corrosion resistance: Excellent resistance to general, pitting and intercrystalline corrosion in chloride containing environments. Intended for severe service conditions, e.g. in dilute hot acids.
