[MW:17262] RE: 17261] Welding of E316L material -Reg

Hi Siva,

 

If the intended service for S.S 316L is for corrosive environments , then the answer is NO.

 

Like base metals , welding consumables for SS 316 could be manufactured as "Dual Certified Grades". Example as per SFA 5.4

• For E-316-XX-- Maxm "C" allowed is -0.08%
• For E-316L-XX-- Maxm "C" allowed is -0.04%

If the electrode manufacturer " Restricts C to  0.04%, yet the  all mechanical test as per SFA 5.4  are passed, then  this grade could be certified as "Dual Certified Grade" , e.g -  E316/E316L-XX. Please check this point with electrode supplier. If the answer is yes then welding consumable certified as  E316/E316L-XX, are safe to use for welding S 316L.  However the consumable must meet any corrosion test, say ASTM A-262 Practice E, if required.

 

Hope this will guide you well to cope with the problem.

 

Thanks.

Dear sirs,

                 I have one clarification regarding welding of SA240 GR 316L material.

May I use E316-16 to weld 316L material.If it is not possible means What is reason behind?

Please Clarify me.

Always Thankful,
