why the client stated in the project specification:
Rutile type electrodes (E-3XX-17 or E-3XX-16) are strictly forbidden for any kind of welding operation for Stabilized Stainless Steel (AISI 321 and 347), including flange facings, overlays and build-ups.
For the rest of AISI 300 Stainless Steel, these rutile electrodes are forbidden whenever the thickness to be welded were greater than 20 mm. Flange facings with these electrodes are forbidden regardless overlay thickness.”
