Vinit Stainless, a well-respected manufacturer and supplier located in Chennai, India, specializes in high-quality AWS Class E316/316H-16 electrodes, perfect for welding molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steels. These electrodes are crafted specifically for high-temperature and corrosive settings, providing exceptional weld strength and durability. Vinit Stainless guarantees that every electrode adheres to strict quality standards, ensuring consistent arc performance, minimal spatter, and outstanding corrosion resistance. Catering to industries like chemical processing, power generation, and pharmaceuticals, Vinit Stainless has established itself as a reliable name in stainless steel welding solutions, supporting intricate fabrication and critical structural projects both in India and abroad.
The AWS Class E316/316H-16 electrodes from Vinit Stainless are made with an alloy of 18–20% chromium, 11–14% nickel, and 2–3% molybdenum, with the 316H grade featuring a higher carbon content to boost high-temperature creep strength. These electrodes typically deliver a tensile strength of 550–620 MPa, along with excellent ductility and resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in chloride-rich environments. The weld deposit remains mechanically stable under thermal stress and showcases smooth bead formation, low spatter, and easy slag removal, making them ideal for both structural and pressure-retaining stainless steel components.
