Ed Stainless provides AWS Class E316/316H-16 Electrodes, specifically designed for welding 316 and 316H stainless steels. These electrodes are capable of withstanding high temperature service while providing superior resistance to oxidation and corrosion. 316H grade is especially ideal for high-temperature conditions where creep resistance is a key requirement. Whether you are involved in petrochemical, aerospace, or power generation applications, these electrodes create tough, crack-resistant welds that remain intact even under the most severe conditions. AWS E316/316H-16 Electrodes bring out the best in challenging applications where high strength and heat-induced corrosion resistance are both necessary.
AWS Class E316/316H-16 Electrodes consist of 16-18% Chromium and 10-14% Nickel stainless steel, with 2-3% Molybdenum added for greater resistance to crevice corrosion and pitting. Carbon addition positions these electrodes for high-temperature use (316H) where the creep resistance is critical. They have tensile strength between 600–750 MPa and yield strength approximately 250 MPa. Their mechanical behavior enables them to retain strength and resist oxidation under high temperatures, making them suitable for use in high-performance welds in severe environments.
