AFM E317L-16 Stainless Steel Electrodes
AWS/SFA A5.4
 
 

Description: AFM E317L-16 is usually used for welding alloys of similar composition and are utilized in severely corrosive environments (such as those containing haolgens) where crevice and pitting corrosion are of concern. The 0.04 percent maximum carbon content of weld metal deposited by these electrodes reduces the possibility of intergranular carbide precipitation and thereby increases the resistance to intergranular corrosion without the use of stabilizers such as columbium (niobium) or titanium. AFM E317L-16, however, is not as strong at elevated temperatures as the columbium (niobium)-stabilized alloys or the standard Type 317 weld metal with a higher carbon content.
