Applications
Shielded metal arc welding of 18%Cr-12%Ni-2%Mo stainless steel such as SUS316.
Characteristics on usage
NC-36 and HIMELT-316 are lime-titania type electrodes, and HIMELT-316 makes higher
welding efficiency by higher amperage.
As the weld metals contain proper quantity of ferrite in austenitic structure, the crack
resistibility is excellent.
Especially the corrosion resistance against diluted sulfuric acid is excellent.
The mechanical properties of the weld metals at elevated temperatures are superior to NC-38.
Heat resistibility and corrosion resistibility of the weld metals are excellent in as-welded
condition.
