To weld SS 316 you should use matching SS consumable. It it is not a "L" grade material like SS 316L , you can use E316 for SMAW / ER 316 for GAW , & if the base material is "L" grade like SS 316L, you have to use E316L or ER316L, but even in both the cases you can use E316L / ER316L consumable.
Pre-heating & PWHT is not required for Austenetic Stainless steel ( SS 316 ). But if your working place is full of moisture or in rain condition, you can apply heat just to remove the moisture from the surface of the joint to be welded.
