Weston Stainless, a Midland, UK-based company, is a prominent distributor of high-quality stainless steel products, including welding consumables, sheets, and fittings for numerous industries. Their range includes AWS Class E310-16 electrodes, which are in great demand due to excellent welding performance. The electrodes fall under Grade 310, with a cylindrical shape and made of austenitic stainless steel. With applications in high-temperature use, E310-16 electrodes are renowned for superior corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and mechanical strength, and they are best suited for welding heat-resistant stainless steels and dissimilar metal unions to produce robust and reliable joints in harsh conditions.
AWS Class E310-16 electrodes consist of a very high content of Chromium (25-28%) and Nickel (19-22%), with traces of Silicon, Manganese, and Carbon. Their mechanical characteristics are a tensile strength of around 550 MPa and an elongation of 30%, which provides excellent toughness and ductility. These electrodes also have very good resistance to thermal fatigue and creep deformation. E310-16 electrodes physically possess a density of around 7.9 g/cm³ and a melting range of 1400-1450°C, which qualifies them for extreme temperature applications. Their structural integrity in the presence of severe heat conditions makes them extremely reliable.
