Specifications:
DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATION
- ZIKA 316L is designed for 100% CO2 gas shielding and all-position welding.
- It exhibits excellent slag release and almost spatter-free operating features.
- It can be used for joining types of 316,316L, CF-8M, and CF-3M stainless steels.
- It provides high inter-granular corrosion resistance to pressure vessel application due to the low carbon content.
- Before welding, the base metal should be cleaned from oil, rusty, moisture and the welding place should have the proper protection from the wind.
- Use 99.8% or higher purity CO2 as shielding gas.
- Maintain the flow rate no under than 20L/min when wire diameter is 1.2mm.
- Trailer Shield is required to ensure the weld pool completely shielded until solidification is complete and no porosity problem.
- Keep dry while in storage and delivery.
