Executive 317/317L provides superior weldability, low spatter and smooth beads with easy slag removal. Weld metal is suitable for welding AISI 317L Steel. It provides good corrosion and heat resistance due to its low C and additional Mo content. The alloy content of weld metal deposited by these electrodes is somewhat higher than that of Exocor 316L electrodes, particularly in molybdenum. These electrodes are usually used for welding alloys of similar composition and are utilized in severely corrosive environments (such as those containing halogens) where crevice and pitting corrosion are of concern.
