308 L (electr.) · 771MTC0006

Rutile coated Rod electrodes for welding of stainless austenitic steels. Weld metal made of austenitic chromium-nickel steel with particularly low carbon content for operating temperatures up to 300°C, cold-tough down to -120°C.

DIN 8556: E199LR23, material no.: corresponds to 1.4316, AWSIASME SFA-5.4: similar to E 308 L-16, B.S.2916: 19.9 .LR., NF A81-343: EZ 19.9 LR 23, EN 1600: E199LR12.

Most important base materials
Stainless austenitic Cr-Ni steel Cast steel

Microstructure
Austenite with delta ferrite

Special notes
Slag which is particularly easy to remove. Dark deposit next to the weld can be removed by chloride-free pickling. The weld metal can be polished to a high gloss.

Re-drying
Generally not necessary. However, the cladding tolerates re-drying up to +350°C.
