| AWS E385-16 Coated Electrodes Application & uses |
|
AWS Class E385-16 Coated Electrodes are designed for welding high-alloy stainless steels containing 20–22% Cr, 24–26% Ni, 4.5–6% Mo, and low carbon to resist intergranular corrosion. They provide excellent resistance to pitting, crevice, and chloride-induced corrosion. Mechanically, weld deposits offer tensile strength around 550–620 MPa, yield strength of 350 MPa, and elongation of 30–35%, ensuring toughness and ductility. With outstanding arc stability, low spatter, and easy slag removal, these electrodes deliver strong, crack-resistant welds suitable for critical applications in aggressive environments.
