316H Stainless Steel TIG wire.
Applications
These consumables are designed for welding 316/316H austenitic stainless steels operating at high temperatures (500-800°C) under long-term creep conditions. The 17.8.2.RCF MMA electrode is a modified 316H weld metal of lean composition to resist thermal embrittlement. The consumables can also be used for welding 321/321H and 347/347H grades in high-temperature structural service. This is particularly important in thick highly restrained weldments, since the possibility of premature service failure by intergranular HAZ cracking is reduced by using more ductile weld metal rather than 347H. Used for welding steam piping, superheater headers, furnace parts, and some gas and steam engine turbine components, in the petrochemical industry, and fossil and nuclear-fuelled power stations.
