Stainless Steel 316H Electrodes

316h Stainless Steel Electrodes are composed of Iron (Fe) in a range of 68-73%, Chromium (Cr) in a field of 17-19%, Nickel (Ni) in a range of 11-14%, Manganese (Mn) 0.5 - 2.5 %, Silicon Si max 1%, Carbon C max 0.08% and other trace elements such as Sulphur Phosphorus and Nitrogen no more than 0.03%. In addition, it also has Molybdenum (Mo), Copper (Cu), Titanium (Ti), and Aluminium(Al). This combination of elements provides excellent corrosion resistance properties with improved high-temperature strength making it ideal for applications where these properties are essential, such as medical equipment manufacturing and chemical processing plants.

SS 316h Electrodes are often used in corrosive environments due to their high corrosion resistance and strength. Its properties include good weldability, formability, and ductility, and it can also maintain its potency at higher temperatures. 316h has a carbon content of 0.04-0.10%, making it the most widely used grade among all austenitic stainless steel. It is generally referred to as “marine grade” because it offers the best corrosion protection when exposed to salt water.
