Application
ER316H is used to weld wrought and cast forms of similar composition. The presence of molybdenum increases its creep resistance at elevated temperatures. The lower ferrite level of this nominal composition reduces the rate of corrosion in certain media and is suitable for use at cryogenic temperatures.

Deposited Chemical Composotion % (Typical)
C = 0.06 Mo = 2.25 P = 0.012
Cr = 19.25 Mn = 1.80 S = 0.010
Ni = 11.25 Si = 0.40

 

Mechanical Properties (R.T.) 
Yield Strength 59,000psi
Tensile Strength 88,000psi
Elongation 40%
Reducation of Area 60%

Deposited All Weld Metal Properties
Data is typical for ER316H weld metal deposited by Tig using 100% Argon as the shielding gas.

Recommended Welding Parameters
GTAW “Tig Process”
Wire Diameter Amps DCSP Volts Shielding Gas
.035 60-90 12-15 Argon 100%
.045 80-110 13-16 Argon 100%
1/16 90-130 14-16 Argon 100%
3/32 120-175 15-20 Argon 100%

Note: Parameters for tig welding are dependent upon plate thickness and welding position.
Other shielding Gases may be used for Tig welding. Shielding gases are chosen taking Quality, Cost, and Operability into consideration.
