| AWS E385-16 Coated Electrodes Application & uses |
|
The AWS Class E385-16 Coated Electrodes are typically made from a high-alloy austenitic stainless steel that includes elevated levels of chromium and nickel, along with controlled amounts of molybdenum to boost corrosion resistance. Their low-carbon content helps reduce carbide precipitation and intergranular corrosion. On the mechanical side, these electrodes create weld metal that boasts good tensile strength, impressive ductility, and high toughness. They provide stable arc characteristics, a smooth bead appearance, and minimal spatter, all while maintaining strong resistance to cracking under thermal and mechanical stresses during use.
