These electrodes are perfect for joining and overlaying high-alloy austenitic stainless steels like Alloy 904L. Renowned for their outstanding corrosion resistance in tough environments, Aditya Stainless’s E385-16 electrodes find extensive use in the chemical, fertilizer, and marine sectors. With a strong commitment to quality, performance, and customer satisfaction, Aditya Stainless guarantees that its E385-16 electrodes adhere to global standards, delivering dependable welding solutions for critical operations both in India and abroad.
AWS Class E385-16 Welding Electrodes are made up of significant amounts of chromium (19–21%), nickel (24–26%), molybdenum (4–5%), and copper (1–2%), making them perfect for Alloy 904L and similar steels. The weld metal boasts impressive resistance to sulfuric, phosphoric, and organic acids. Typically, the mechanical properties include a tensile strength of around 550–650 MPa, yield strength close to 350 MPa, and an elongation of about 30%. These electrodes ensure smooth arc stability, minimal spatter, and easy slag removal. E385-16 provides high-performance welds with remarkable ductility and corrosion resistance, particularly in non-oxidizing acidic and chloride-rich settings.
