Rutile flux-cored wire of type 316L / T 19 12 3 L P is designed for welding 316L / 1.4404, 1.4432 type stainless steels with good resistance to general, pitting and intergranular corrosion in chloride containing environments. Intended for severe service conditions, e.g. in dilute hot acids. Also suitable for welding steels that are stabilized with titanium or niobium, such as 316Ti / 1.4571 for service temperatures not exceeding 750°F. For higher temperatures a niobium-stabilized consumable such as FOXcore 318-T1 is required. The scaling temperature is approximately 1560°F in air. Designed for all purpose welding and can be used in all positions without changing the parameters, when set correctly. Very good slag detachability and almost no spatter. Due to the fast freezing rutile slag, the weldability is excellent particularly in the vertical-up and overhead positions. The wide arc ensures even root and side-wall penetration to prevent lack of fusion. Suitable for service temperatures from -180ºF to 750ºF. For fl at and horizontal welding positions, FOXcore 316L-T0 DG may be preferred
