Arcaloy 316/316H-15 can be used in applications where 316 stainless needs improved due to higher service temperature. Best used out-of-position on DC current.
Arcaloy 316/316H-15 can be used for welding Type 316 and should be used in applications where 316 or 316H stainless needs improved high temperature. In some cases, E16-8-2 electrodes should be used.

Arcaloy 316/316H-15 electrodes are used for welding Type 316 stainless steel and should be used where high temperature occur in service. The basic coating of Arcaloy 3169/316H-15 gives the highest resistance to cracking and excellent vertical welding characteristics. It is therefore the choice for field welding.
