Chanchai Stainless in Bangkok, Thailand, produces AWS Class E316/316H‑16 Electrodes, designed for welding high-temperature 316H-grade stainless steels. These electrodes provide enhanced strength and corrosion resistance, ensuring strong performance in high-heat settings. With a focus on quality manufacturing, Chanchai Stainless supplies electrodes that are optimized for welding elevated-temperature vessels and components in petrochemical, energy, and heavy industrial sectors.
E316/316H‑16 electrodes contain 16–18% chromium, 10–14% nickel, and 2–3% molybdenum, with a higher carbon content (0.04–0.10%) for improved high-temperature strength. The welds provide a tensile strength of around 600–700 MPa and better creep resistance. The higher carbon content enhances mechanical stability at elevated temperatures, while the molybdenum helps maintain corrosion resistance, making the electrodes suitable for service in conditions up to 800–900 °C.
