E 308L-16 1/8 x 10lb Electrode AWS A5.4 308L-16

  • Low Carbon Composition – Helps reduce the risk of carbide precipitation and improves resistance to intergranular corrosion
  • Rutile-Type Coating – Smooth and stable arc, easy striking and restriking, good slag detachability, and the ability to run on AC or DC (reverse polarity)
  • Excellent Corrosion Resistance – Suitable for environments exposed to moisture, chemicals, and mild acids
  • Good Weldability and Appearance
  • Mechanical Properties – Good tensile strength, ductility, and crack-resistant weld metal due to controlled ferrite content
  • Versatile Applications
  • Low Heat Input Compatibility – Works well with thin sections and helps minimize distortion

Description

For All-Position welding austenitic low carbon 18% Chrome – 8% Nickel Stainless Steel such as 304L and steel
castings of similar composition. Also used for stabilized stainless steels such as 321 and 347. The low carbon
content of this electrode reduces the formation of chromium carbides, thereby protecting the corrosion resistant
qualities of the weld deposit. Good strike and re-striking capability, smooth arc action with very little spatter
and easy slag removal. Produces a finely rippled weld bead with a slightly concave shape that needs little or no
post weld grinding or polishing. Used for fabrication and repair of stainless steel equipment in dairy distillery
and restaurant equipment, chemical tanks and chemical engineering applications. Also used as a protective
overlay on steel where medium hardness and complete corrosion resistance is required.
