DIPTIINOX® ER16-8-2: Superior High-Temperature Welding for Critical Stainless Steel
The AWS A5.9 ER16-8-2 TIG Rod is a chromium-nickel-molybdenum austenitic stainless steel welding filler metal, highly valued for its exceptional performance in high-temperature applications. The unique chemistry of approximately **16% Chromium, 8% Nickel, and 2% Molybdenum** is tightly controlled to yield an all-weld metal deposit with outstanding creep strength and resistance to stress rupture at service temperatures exceeding 538°C (1000°F). It is primarily used to weld the 16-8-2 grade of stainless steel but also serves as an excellent option for joining austenitic stainless steels such as AISI 316 and AISI 347 when high-temperature properties are paramount. Dipti Metal Industries manufactures every ER16-8-2 rod to deliver a clean, stable arc and a radiographic quality weld deposit, essential for critical components in the nuclear and power generation sectors.
