DESCRIPTION
VSS-316 is a lime-titania type stainless steel electrode, which shows 19% Cr- 12% Ni-2% Mo austenitic weld metal virtually free from spatter.
It has excellent workability and weldability. As the weld metal contains Mo, it has excellent resistance to not-oxidizing acid such as sulfuric acid, sulfurous acid and phosphoric acid, etc. and also has a good creep strength. Therefore, it is widely used in chemical industries, dynamic industries etc. Peeling-off of the slag is very good.
APPLICATIONS
Welding of AlSl31. Welding of dissimilar metals such as mild steel to stainless steel. Under-laying of hard surfacing.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR WELDING
- Choose the welding current as low as possible, keep the arc length as short as possible.
