SHIELD-BRIGHT 316L

Shield-Bright 316L was developed for out-of-position welding when improved corrosion resistance is needed on 316 and 316L steels.

Features

Shield-Bright 316L was developed for the welding of Type 316L stainless steel but can be used for other stainless steels including Types 316 and 304L. In a few cases, e.g. nitric acid service, Shield-Bright 316L should not be used to weld 304L. It contains molybdenum which resists pitting corrosion induced by sulphuric and sulphurous acids, chlorides and cellulose solutions. Used widely in the rayon, dye and paper making industries.

Shield-Bright 316L was developed for welding in all positions and performs particularly well in the vertical position with excellent slag removal.
