E308-16

Class: E308-16

AWS: A5.4

Conforms to Certification: AWS A5.4     ASME SFA A5.4

Weld Process: Shielded Manual Metal Arc

AWS Chemical Composition Requirements
C = 0.08 max Si = 0.90 max
Cr = 18.0-21.0 P = 0.04 max
Ni = 9.0-11.0 S = 0.03 max
Mo = 0.75 max Cu = 0.75 max
Mn = 0.5-2.5

Application
E308-16 is designed for welding of the following 18-8 stainless steel types: 301, 302, 304 and 308. The weld deposit has the proper chemical content and balance for satisfactory welding of type 308, and therefore is suitable for welding 18-8 types of lower alloy content. Sound weld metal and corrosion resistance equal to or greater than that of the parent metal are assured.

Deposited Chemical Composition % (Typical)
