Cryoarc 316L-15 is designed to be used in cryogenic and LNG applications where greater impact toughness is required. It can also be used where low magnetic permeability is required. The basic coating gives the highest resistance to cracking and excellent vertical welding characteristics. It is therefore the choice for field welding.
