• Applications
  • WT-316L(P) is designed for MAG welding of 18%Cr-12%Ni-2%Mo stainless steels or for the welding of dissimilar joints of stainless steels.
  • Characteristics on Usage
    • - WT-316L is a rutile type flux cored wire for flat and horizontal position welding.
    • - WT-316LP is a rutile type flux cored wire for all-position welding.
    • - Wire has low spatter, easy slag removal and good weld soundness.
    • - The weld metal contains optimum ferrite contents in their austenitic structures, Therefore their weldability is excellent with lower crack susceptibility.
  • Notes on Usage
    • - The shielding gas should be used 100% CO2 or Ar+20~25% CO2 for welding.
    • Gas flow rate is proper 20~25ℓ/min.
