Nakamura Stainless is a prominent manufacturer and supplier located in Pulau Ujong, Singapore, known for its top-notch stainless steel products and high-quality welding consumables. One of their standout products, the AWS Class E316/316H-16 Electrodes, is highly regarded for its exceptional corrosion resistance, great weldability, and reliable performance even in tough conditions. These electrodes are specifically designed for welding and overlaying stainless steels, making them perfect for industries that face harsh environments. With a strong commitment to quality, technical know-how, and prompt delivery, Nakamura Stainless has earned a reputation as a trusted partner for the petrochemical, marine, construction, and power generation sectors both in Singapore and around the globe.
The AWS Class E316/316H-16 Electrodes are made up of chromium (18–20%), nickel (11–14%), and molybdenum (2–3%), which provide excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. The increased carbon content in 316H enhances its strength at high temperatures and its resistance to creep. These electrodes boast a tensile strength of approximately 550–620 MPa, along with impressive ductility and toughness. They ensure stable arcs, a smooth bead appearance, and minimal spatter during the welding process. Their unique alloy composition makes them perfect for fabricating and repairing stainless steel components in demanding environments, including those with high temperatures and corrosive conditions, while maintaining their mechanical integrity over time.
