welding of 304 SS with 316 filler
welding of 304 SS with 316 filler
(OP)
Experts,
Please advise me whether Er316L filler material shall be used for welding SS pipe of 304L type. Normal practice is to use 308L filler but now some joints are already welded with 316L.so now I am trying find the possibility to justify it through a new Wps which will use 316L filler. None of the electrode manufactures manuals also recommending such usage...please share your knowledge in this subject.

316 wouldn't be my first choice, but you noted some of the pipe joints are already welded with 316 filler metal.
Following this thread is like listening to the Paul Harvey Radio Show; here's part of the story, stay tuned for the rest of the story right after the station break.
