Stick Electrodes for Stainless Steel
The flux coating produces good stability, speed, and welding performance.
E308L electrodes are for 201, 202, 301, 302, 304, 305, and 308 stainless steel.
E309L electrodes are for 309 stainless steel. They can also be used for other stainless steel where pre- and post-heat treatments aren’t possible, as well as for joining dissimilar metals.
E316L electrodes are for 316 stainless steel. They are often used on food-processing equipment and for welds on molybdenum-bearing steels.
