Arcaloy 309L-16 is used primarily in the overlay of steel or to join stainless steel to carbon or low alloy steels. Usable on AC or DC current.
Arcaloy 309L-16 is used for welding carbon and low alloy steels to stainless steels. This can be done provided the service temperature does not exceed about 700ºF (315ºC). Post weld heat treatment should only be performed after due consideration.
