Lecong Stainless Manufacturer and Suppliers in Da Nang, Vietnam, provides a complete range of stainless steel welding materials, including AWS Class E317L-16 electrodes. These electrodes are specifically formulated for welding molybdenum-bearing stainless steels, where resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion is important. With a low-carbon design, E317L-16 reduces carbide precipitation risks and ensures excellent corrosion resistance in chloride-rich and acidic environments. Lecong Stainless is committed to providing products that meet international quality standards, delivering high-performance electrodes trusted across chemical, marine, and pharmaceutical industries for reliable, long-lasting stainless steel welding applications.
AWS Class E317L-16 electrodes contain about 19% chromium, 13% nickel, and 3 to 4% molybdenum, with low carbon to resist intergranular corrosion. This composition enhances resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and general attack in chloride-containing environments. Mechanical properties include a tensile strength of around 80,000 psi, a yield strength near 55,000 psi, and around 35% elongation. The weld deposit provides excellent corrosion resistance, toughness, and creep strength. With smooth arc characteristics and easy slag removal, E317L-16 ensures durable welds with a superior finish, suitable for critical stainless steel fabrications in harsh operating conditions.
