Can 316L stainless steel cored wire achieve an impact value of 34 J at -196 degrees Celsius?

Gentlemen, can 316L stainless steel cored wire maintain an impact value of 34 J at temperatures as low as -196 degrees? The base material is 304 stainless steel. . .
It should work; I’ve seen 316L welding wire available at temperatures of -196°C, with energies of 40 or 50 J.
But I forgot what type of welding wire it was; I think it was TIG welding wire.
For stainless steel cored wires, it is currently difficult to ensure consistent quality in China; the performance can vary among different manufacturers and batches. As a result, no recommendations are given in the standards, and it is advisable to conduct retesting on a batch basis when using them.
It’s just that you haven’t come across it yet; that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. I’ve seen liquid nitrogen, and you can imagine MDMT in equipment designed to hold liquid nitrogen. . . . . . . . .
:lol liquid helium -269
What is it being welded? Is it 304? What working environment? Thank you. . .
Once again, just because you haven’t come into contact with it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Judging from your expression, all I can think is that I need to comfort you, not discourage you.
It seems to be related to air separation or methanol washing.
