Crown E316LT-1 FCo is an all-position gas-shielded flux cored stainless steel electrode for flux cored arc welding (FCAW). The E316LT-1 FCo will produce high quality weldments in all positions of welding. It is used for welding type 316 and 316L stainless. It is also used to weld CF-8M and CF-3M stainless castings. The addition of molybdenum provides much greater corrosion resistance to sulphuric and sulphurous acids, chlorides and cellulose solutions than the 308 stainless. Both deposition rate and efficiency are better than that of covered stainless steel electrodes. Compared to the solid GMAW (MIG) process, Crown E316LT-1 FCo achieves all-position capability without using a pulsed power source or short circuit transfer. The E316LT-1 FCo will attain a higher deposition rate and better weld quality than GMAW (MIG) welding with solid wire. The weld deposits exhibit superior radiographic quality.
