StarBlaze Prime 316H
AWS A5.4: E316H-16 | DIN EN ISO 3581-A: E 19 12 2 R 12 | Werkstoff Nr: 1.4919
Rutile Coated | Mo-Alloyed Austenitic | High Temperature and Creep Resistance
StarBlaze Prime 316H is a rutile-basic coated stainless steel electrode formulated for welding AISI 316H and similar grades requiring elevated tensile and creep strength. With approximately 2–6% ferrite in the deposit and low moisture pick-up coating, it ensures stable arc performance, smooth bead appearance, and minimal slag removal effort. Designed for reliable service in high-temperature environments such as power, refinery, and process piping systems.
