AWS Chemical Composition Requirements
C = 0.08 – 0.20	Si = 0.75 max
Cr = 25.0 – 28.0	P = 0.03 max
Ni = 20.0 – 22.5	S = 0.03 max
Mo = 0.75 max	Mn = 1.0 – 2.5
Cu = 0.75 max

Application
E310-16 electrodes were developed for the welding of type 310 stainless steel; weld deposit will exhibit the same chemical analysis and oxidation resistance as the base plate metal. E310-16 is considered a general purpose electrode for welding almost every analysis of carbon and alloy steel. Preheating to 300 to 500F produces strong crack-free welds in dissimilar steels.

Deposited Chemical Composition % (Typical)
C = 0.11	Cr = 26.20	Si = 0.52
Ni = 20.95	Mn = 1.90	P = 0.016
S = 0.012
