SAITRON 232 is a low heat input electrode suitable for welding of AISI 316L/316, 317, 318 types and similar composition. The special addition of molybdenum increases the creep resistance at elevated temperatures and offers good resistance to pitting corrosion. The controlled carbon content reduces the possibility of intergranular carbide precipitation. The weld metal deposit is resistant to sulphuric, hydrochloric, acetic, phosphoric, citric acid etc. It has a smooth running arc and easy removal of slag. With excellent strike and re-strike during welding.
