Features

• AVESTA 316L/SKR has a rutile‐acid type coating which provides very good weldability when working with both positive pole DC and AC
• The electrode is characterized by a steady arc with very little spatter, high welding speed and easy slag removal
• It produces a smooth concave weld surface in a horizontal fillet weld, which improves the resistance to fatigue
• A flat weld surface is obtained in butt welds and this reduces grinding costs
• AVESTA 316L/SKR is used for welding austenitic Cr‐Ni‐Mo steels of the ASTM 316 and 316L types
• It can also be used for welding niobium and titanium stabilized steels, such as ASTM 316Ti and 316Nb in cases where the welded component will be operating at temperatures not exceeding 400°C
• For higher temperatures a stabilized welding consumable (AVESTA 318/SKNb) should be used
• High productivity welding in flat and horizontal positions
• Welder friendly
• All round electrode
