AFM E309-16 Stainless Steel Electrodes
AWS/SFA A5.4
 
 

Description: AFM E309-16 is commonly used for welding similar alloys in wrought or cast form. It is used for welding dissimilar metals, such as joining Type 304 to carbon steel, welding the clad side of Type 304 clad steels, and applying stainless steel sheet linings to carbon steel shells. Occasionally, AFM E309-16 is used to weld Type 304 and similar base metals where severe corrosion conditions exist requiring higher alloy weld metal.
