Sandvik 19.12.3.L is a strip electrodes used for the second layer to obtain a corrosion resistant overlay weld deposit on a transition layer of Sandvik 24.13.L , 22.11.L or 21.13.3.L on C-, CMn- and low-alloy steels using submerged-arc welding (SAW) with the flux Sandvik 10SW or electroslag welding (ESW) with the fluxes Sandvik 47S or 49S the high speed flux.

Sandvik 19.12.3.L gives a 316L/E316L weld deposit. There are also other possible combinations and conditions.

Applications
19.12.3.L is used for weld surfacing of components in the chemical, petrochemical, marine industries where corrosion resistance on par with 316L is required. Typical components are pressure vessels, heat exchangers, shafts, industrial piping etc.
