Stainless steel stick electrode E308l-16

E308L-16 is a rutile-coated stainless steel electrode designed for welding austenitic stainless steels such as 18-8 stainless steels (e.g., 304, 304L). It contains low carbon content to reduce the risk of intergranular corrosion.Its rutile-coating system provides a stable arc, minimal spatter and easy slag removal,. This electrode is suitable for all-position welding using AC or DC current.

Provides smooth, easy-to-control arcs, low spatter, and excellent bead appearance.

  • Welding Parameters

All position welding

  • Recommended Applications

Welding of 304/304L stainless steel components
Food processing equipment
Chemical tanks and piping systems
Pressure vessels and architectural structures requiring corrosion resistance
