Austenitic metal-cored wire of T 19 12 3 L / EC316L type for welding matching and similar, stabilized or unstabilized, corrosion resistant austenitic CrNiMo-steels. Easy handling and high deposition rate result in high productivity with excellent welding performance and very low spatter formation. The wire shows good wetting behavior and results in a smooth surface. The wide arc ensures even penetration and side-wall fusion to prevent lack of fusion. This makes the metal-cored wire less sensitive to edge misalignment and variation in gap width as compared to solid wires. Suitable for service temperatures from –120°C to 400°C. The scaling temperature is approximately 850°C in air. Ferrite measured with FeritScope MP30: 4 – 12 FN.
