Afrox Subarc 310

Welding Consumables
Afrox Subarc 310 consumables are used primarily for welding
similar wrought or cast 25% Cr, 20% Ni (310) parent alloys
with up to 0,25% carbon. Parent metal and weld metal are
fully austenitic. The high alloy content of type 310 gives useful
oxidation resistance up to peak temperatures of about 1 200°C for
heat shields, furnace parts and ducting.

Afrox Subarc 316L

Welding Consumables

Subarc 316L consumables are used for Mo bearing austenitic

stainless steels with 1,5 - 3% Mo. They are also suitable for Ti or
Nb stabilised and nitrogen-bearing or free machining versions of
the above alloys. Type 316/316L steels are widely used for their
good resistance to pitting, many acids and general corrosion.
