Oxford Alloy E309/309L-16 is designed to run on direct current, reversed polarity as well as alternating current. The low carbon content of the weld metal lowers the risk of intergranular corrosion by reducing the possibility of carbide precipitation at the grain boundary. This electrode can be used to join dissimilar metals for service temperatures up to 600 deg F and metals of 309 and 309L composition. Oxford Alloy E309/309L-16 can also be used to join stainless steels to themselves or to carbon or low alloy steels. The molybdenum content provides creep resistance at elevated temperatures. This dual classification will help eliminate redundancy
