Harshita Stainless, a prominent manufacturer and supplier located in Delhi, India, is well-known for its top-notch welding consumables, particularly the AWS Class E316/316L-16 Electrodes. These electrodes are expertly crafted for welding low-carbon 316 and similar austenitic stainless steels, providing outstanding resistance to corrosion and high-temperature oxidation. With a strong reputation for quality, precision, and reliable performance, Harshita Stainless caters to essential industries like food processing, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, and marine sectors. The E316/316L-16 electrodes minimize carbide precipitation and offer remarkable weld metal ductility, making them perfect for applications where corrosion resistance and weld integrity are crucial under demanding conditions.
AWS Class E316/316L-16 Electrodes consist of about 18–20% Chromium, 11–14% Nickel, and 2–3% Molybdenum, along with a low carbon content (≤0.04%) to help prevent intergranular corrosion. These components significantly boost resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, especially in chloride-rich settings. When using E316/316L-16 electrodes, the weld metal typically reaches a tensile strength of around 580 MPa, a yield strength of 380 MPa, and an elongation of 30%. These electrodes ensure smooth arc stability, minimal spatter, and easy slag removal, and they can be utilized with both AC and DC power sources in any welding position.
