Select-Arc Inc. has developed a stainless steel, metal cored electrode specially developed for welding in high temperature piping systems. SelectAlloy 16-8-2-C, nominally composed of 15.5% chromium, 8.5% nickel and 1.5% molybdenum, operates with a smooth, spray arc transfer. This electrode produces little slag and virtually no spatter, which minimizes cleanup. SelectAlloy 16-8-2-C is designed for welding 16-8-2, 316 and 347 grades of stainless steel in high temperature piping systems. This wire’s good ductility properties make it suitable for welding cat crackers, furnace parts and components used in the petrochemical, chemical processing and power generation industries. It may also be utilized for making small butt, lap and fillet welds on thin material at elevated travel speeds.
SelectAlloy 16-8-2-C is available in .045in and 1/16in diameters.
