Weld Mold® 316

---

Complies with AWS specifications and is for welding austenitic 316 stainless steels.

Applications

Weld Mold 316 is ideal for welding type 316, 316L, CF-8M and CF-3M stainless steels in applications where low friction overlay with increased corrosion resistance and high temperature properties are important.

Procedure

Clean all areas to be welded and use keep interpass temperatures as low as possible while welding on 300 series stainless steels.
