E308L-16 is an extra low carbon
electrode for the welding of type 304L, 321, and 347 stainless steels. The
controlled ferrite in the weld deposit gives excellent notch toughness at
cryogenic temperatures. This electrode deposits a maximum of .04% carbon
in the weld metal to minimize the formation of chromium carbides and consequent
susceptibility to intergranular corrosion.
