E308L-16

Class: E308L-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 = 0.04 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
E308L-16 was developed for welding 304L. This electrode deposits a maximum of 0.04% carbon in the weld metal. Type 308L-16 is used extensively for welding of chemical plant equipment and may be used successfully for welding types 321 and 347 steel grades. E308L-16 minimizes the formation of chromium carbides in the weld metal.
