Product description
Hilchrome 316R is our multi-purpose electrode for welding low carbon 17Cr12Ni3Mo austenitic acid-resistant stainless steel grades like AISI 316, 316L. Universal in applications but typical for all industries where superior corrosion resistance is required: textile industry, paper mills, chemical industry, cellulose industry etc., resistance to general and intergranular corrosion (up to 400ºC), good resistance to hot cracking. Hilchrome 316R is a core wire alloyed all-current type (AC/DC).
